True, but then companies like Intuit came along and released versions of Quicken and Quickbooks that require 9.2.2.
I wasn't aware Intuit or other companies had done that. But I am
curious. Do these versions truly require 9.2.2 or is that just lazy marketing?
If these versions truly require 9.2.2, that means they are intended to
run in Classic mode on a machine running OS X. Surely, that is a silly design decision since someone running OS X would undoubtedly prefer a version that does not require Classic mode.

According to the Quicken 2003 for Mac web page it does require 9.2.2. ><http://www.shop.intuit.com/store/jhtml/sysreq.jhtml?priorityCode=501034 >8&categoryId=cat101202&productId=prod10047&productLine=Quicken&pageLocat >ion=Quicken&sellType=>
Quicken 2003 is a Carbon app that runs in both Classic Mac OS and Mac
OS X, and since Apple has said that Classic Mac OS is dead I would
surmise that Quicken simply sees no reason to continue to support older >versions of Mac OS with new versions of the software.

According to some pundits - the Finder is noticeably faster in 9.2.2 than 9.1. One my UMAX clone, 9.2.2 was a pretty easy upgrade (with OS9Helper)
and it was pretty fast before.
