Best of all, Mac OS X is simple to install and easy to learn. The Classic technology lets you run thousands of existing Mac OS 9-compatible applications, while the powerful features of Mac OS X provide a foundation for great new applications that are "Built for Mac OS X." So whether at the office, at home, in the studio, or in the classroom, Mac OS X will make your computer run faster and more reliably, while bringing the simplicity and familiarity of today's Macintosh to a whole new level.
