Mac OS 9 is the final major release of Apple's Mac OS before the launch of OS X. Introduced on October 23, 1999, Apple positioned it as "The Best Internet Operating System Ever," highlighting Sherlock 2's Internet search capabilities, integration with Apple's free online services known as iTools and improved Open Transport networking. While Mac OS 9 lacks protected memory and full pre-emptive multitasking, lasting improvements include the introduction of an automated Software Update engine and support for multiple users.
Apple discontinued development of Mac OS 9 in 2002, transitioning all future development to Mac OS X. Since that time, no updates have been released. The final updates to Mac OS 9 addressed compatibility issues with OS X while running in the Classic Environment and compatibility with Carbon applications. At the 2002 World Wide Developers Conference, Steve Jobs began his keynote address by staging a mock funeral for OS 9. However, there are still users of Mac OS 9 today. Specifically retro-gamers, people using old software that was discontinued before the introduction of OS X or users of old hardware incompatible with Mac OS X. (PowerPC Macs made before the introduction of the G3 processor.)
Apple billed Mac OS 9 as including "50 New Features" and heavily marketed its Sherlock 2 software, which introduced a 'channels' feature for searching different online resources and introduced a QuickTime-like metallic appearance. Mac OS 9 also featured integrated support for Apple’s suite of Internet services known as iTools (later re-branded as .Mac, then MobileMe, which is now known as iCloud) and included improved TCP/IP functionality with Open Transport 2.5.
Other features new to Mac OS 9 include:
Integrated support for multiple user accounts without using At Ease. Support for voice login through VoicePrint passwords. Keychain, a feature allowing users to save passwords and textual data encrypted in protected keychains. A Software Update control panel for automatic download and installation of Apple system software updates. A redesigned Sound control panel and support for USB audio. Speakable Items 2.0, also known as PlainTalk, featuring improved speech synthesis and recognition along with AppleScript integration. Improved font management through FontSync. Remote Access Personal Server 3.5, including support for TCP/IP clients over Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). An updated version of AppleScript with support for TCP/IP. Personal File Sharing over TCP/IP. USB Printer Sharing, a control panel allowing certain USB printers to be shared across a TCP/IP network. 128-bit file encryption in the Finder. Support for files larger than 2 GB. Unix volume support. CD Burning in the Finder (introduced in Mac OS 9.1). Addition of a 'Window' menu to the Finder (introduced in Mac OS 9.1) -Wikipedia
Mac OS 9.1 is the update for Mac OS 9.0.x users. It includes some stability to Finder, added Window menu, security enhancements, and more.

Mac OS 9.1 and later could not boot successfully on SheepShaver because it lacks memory management unit (MMU). However, there are some ways to get 9.1 working on SheepShaver by hacking the System file or replacing System file from Mac OS 9.0.4 and changing version number to 9.1 using ResEdit
, but this may result system instability.
If you are running PowerBook 3400c, use the update without updating hard disk drivers.
For PowerBook 1400s, Password Security is not supported.
For 20th Anniversary Mac, disable Virtual Memory.
For Power Macintosh 6100/7100/8100, you need to install from the CD version, updating from 9.0.x is not supported.
Also, for PowerMac 61/71/8100/9150 with a third-party accelerator card will not install Mac OS 9.1.

I managed to get Mac OS 9.1 running in SheepShaver, if you can believe it.
