Hardly.  It means that emulators will now take over that function.  In 
fact, I've been waiting for a catalist like this for years -- mac 
emulators have some catching up to do.

I know emulators aren't as good as the real thing, but hell, neither was 
trying to get a classic app working on OS X.  If I want to run a classic 
app properly, the way it works best and was intended, I run it on 
classic hardware.  I don't think many here will disagree with me.
