    You're defending something against a topic it's not even under attack for.

    I will not be installing Vista any time soon. I am quite happy with what I have.

    That's true, but it doesn't stop me from wanting to play Interstate '76 under Windows XP.

    Rosetta isn't the same thing. Rosetta emulates PPC apps on the x86 architecture. Classic is OS9 emulation for PPC OSX (which obviously doesn't work for OSx86).

    I think maybe anything past 8.6. so 9? I think 8.6 was the last time they used that system structure and after they changed to what X is.
