Mac
OS 9 was the final major release of Apple's "Classic" Mac OS.
Introduced on October 23, 1999, Apple positioned it as "The Best
Internet Operating System Ever," highlighting Sherlock 2's Internet
search capabilities, integration with Apple's free online services
known as iTools, and improved Open Transport networking.
While Mac
OS 9 lacks the functionality of a modern operating system, such as
protected memory and full pre-emptive multitasking[1], lasting
improvements include the introduction of an automated Software Update
engine and support for multiple users.
Apple discontinued
development of Mac OS 9 in 2002, transitioning all future development
to Mac OS X. Since that time, no updates have been released. The final
updates to Mac OS 9 addressed compatibility issues with OS X while
running in the Classic Environment and compatibility with Carbon
applications.
Apple billed Mac OS 9 as including "50 New
Features" and heavily marketed its Sherlock 2 software, which
introduced a 'channels' feature for searching different online
resources and introduced a QuickTime-like metallic appearance. Mac OS 9
also featured integrated support for Apple ’s suite of Internet
services known as iTools (later re-branded as .Mac) and included
improved TCP/IP functionality with Open Transport 2.5.
Other features new to Mac OS 9 include:
Integrated support for multiple user accounts without using At Ease.
Support for voice login through VoicePrint passwords.
Keychain, a feature allowing users to save passwords in protected keychains.
A Software Update control panel for automatic download and installation of Apple system software updates.
A redesigned Sound control panel and support for USB audio.

Items 2.0, also known as PlainTalk, featuring improved speech synthesis
and recognition along with AppleScript integration.[4]
Improved font management through FontSync.
Remote Access Personal Server 3.5, including support for TCP/IP clients over PPP.
An updated version of AppleScript with support for TCP/IP.
Personal File Sharing over TCP/IP.
USB Printer Sharing, a control panel allowing certain USB printers to be shared across a TCP/IP network.
