Correct. Legacy applications have to run in an emulated mode
that basically gives you MacOS 9.1 running as a guest underneath
MacOS X. For a lot of applications, this is sufficient. This used
to be called "Blue Box", and is now simply referred to as "Classic".
However, this Classic mode is not 100% compatible with all
programs that will otherwise run under MacOS 9 -- the lower down in
the OS and hardware the program digs, the less likely it will work in
"Classic". Even if it does run in Classic, it may be significantly
slower than a native application (in fact, it will almost certainly
be slower, the issue is by how much).
