Apple Releases Mac OS 9.2.2 Update

Apple Releases Mac OS 9.2.2 Update

by , 11:00 AM EST, December 6th, 2001

Apple has made available for immediate download OS 9.2.2. The 'Read Before You Install' file cautions that you should have the OS 9.2.1 upgrade install before installing OS 9.2.2. Apple's Mac OS 9.2.2 update Web page offers the following information on the update:

The Mac OS 9.2.2 Update improves Classic application compatibility in Mac OS X and delivers updated support for Macintosh systems that are based on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor.

The 21MB update can be downloaded from AppleCare or via Software Update. It should be noted that Final Cut Pro 3, which was released earlier this week, requires Mac OS 9.2.2 to work in Classic Mac OS.

The Mac Observer Spin:

With the performance hit that Classic took in Mac OS X 10.1 (Classic compatibility mode), we are delighted to see Apple release an update to OS 9. Hopefully we'll find that things run a bit better with the update, and if you have any observations on this, please drop a note in the comments below.
