I'm just curious, to anyone who owns a "new" (the newest G4 PowerMacs that are Dual-Boot but lack AP Extreme, etc.), does the machine come with OS X *AND* OS 9? Considering it's a dual-boot machine I'd assume both OS's come with it, but I was just wondering.

Here is a quote from the G4 info page on apple.com
"Boots into Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X
The Power Mac G4 includes both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X pre-installed, and comes configured to boot up in Mac OS 9."

Every Mac from Apple now comes with MacOS 9 and MacOS X. You need MacOS 9 for Classic support in MacOS X. So even if the Mac can't boot into MacOS 9 it still comes with MacOS 9.
But note that there may not be separate system disks. Ie. on the new Macs, even these dual boot Macs, MacOS 9 is usually on either the MacOS X install disk or the restore disk (I can't remember which). There is no MacOS 9 system disk.
