Is there still no way to keep the Classic environment running in a "windowed" mode, a la Virtual PC? Classic starts up this way, but switches to its "transparent" or dispersed, Finder-less mode after it has finished loading the extensions.

It would be great if someone came up with a utlility to offer windowed modes w/Classic, and even a full-screen windowed mode complete with the Finder, especially since Apple has disabled all its new computers from booting into OS 9.

This has been discussed before and there are reasons why it isn't possible but I'm all for the idea.
