 This is a shame, since a lot of early Mac software will surprisingly still
 run on my G5 running Tiger. In fact, I use an old System 6-era version of
 Caere OmniPage for simple OCR tasks since it's so unbelievably fast by
 comparison.  
    "Doesn't support" as in "will not run the Classic
environment", or 
 "does not ship with Classic"?

    Tiger (v10.4) did not ship with Classic either. 
Doesn't support. If you look at the screen shot from the URL above, it says,

"If a Classic application doesn't open

"You can't open Mac OS 9 applications in Mac OS X version 10.5 because it
doesn't support the Classic environment.

"If you need to use a Mac OS 9 application, try the following:

"* Contact the developer to see if a Mac OS X version is available.

"* Check your computer's documentation to see if it can start up in Mac OS
9."
