non-"32-bit clean") Macs no longer ran any version of the system software as of version 7.6. While System 7 itself was 32-bit clean, many existing machines and thousands of applications were not, so it was some time before the process was completed. This change was known as being "32-bit clean".

While fairly complex for programmers to implement, this feature was powerful and popular with users, and is still available to this day as part of Mac OS X. This was an entire architecture for making scriptable applications. A list of running applications, formerly at the bottom of the Apple menu under MultiFinder, was moved to its own menu on the right, along with Hide and Unhide functionality. The desk accessory technology was deprecated, with System 7 treating them largely the same as other applications. Desk Accessories had originally been intended to provide a form of multitasking and were no longer necessary now that multitasking was always enabled.

The line between extensions and control panels was blurred, extensions basically being GUI-less control panels.
