Powerpc support mac os x lion

I am in a cleft stick. I need PPC support for a range of apps and devices.. I either rush out and buy a Mac NOW before all new Macs become unable to boot in Snow Leopard or hang on to my not very old Mac pros for longer than is ideal and leave them stuck on Snow Leopard.

If the 64bit goodness of Lion might be despoiled by the 32bitPPC environment how come 32bit Intel will run fine?

And judging by much what I believe is in Lion I really see no need to move to it anyway. It feeds my increasing feeling that in the near future I will be forced to migrate my work from Mac simply to be sure of ongoing support in the professional space. The main thing to remember is since moving away from their PPC beginnings Apple has chosen the Intel platform to begin making a foundation so these compatibility issue do not occur in the future.

So should Rosetta have been included in Lion? In my opinion, yes. Should Rosetta be included in the next OS release after Lion? In my opinion, no. I have Windows program from that no longer work on Windows 7 just as I have programs from that no longer work on Mac OS X I do believe change is a good thing in most cases but as I preluded to earlier, taking out Rosetta this early before the 7 year mark is just too early.

Apple should keep Rosetta, then remove it in their next major release.

Pardon my ignorance but would it be so much of a hassle, programmingly speaking to just freaking leave Rosetta where it was? I also have software that will only run using Rosetta and CANNOT be replaced — only substituted for by other software with a steep learning curve. Or under it? Of course, that might cut some short-term profits for the big software companies….

In answer to your question, there is a very simple solution. Running Snow Leopard in a VM under Lion would allow Rosetta applications to continue, and they would be well integrated with your native applications running under Lion. It is that attitude that is so bad, and is the main reason that I shall be spending the next year or so NOT upgrading all my applications, but disentangling myself from Apple.

I am not prepared to risk the next set of useless additions, lost features, and increased restrictions onw hat I can do. Lion has made me completely lose faith in Apple.

Mac OS X Lion Drops Rosetta Support for PowerPC Apps

I doubt that they will do anything to win it back. How would this not be a total win? Fewer people delaying upgrade, enough cash to cover the development and support, more happy customers. Not updating to Lion here yet either. Anything that uses PowerPC will not work and that includes my I1Display monitor calibration and half of my Photoshop CS5 plugin suites all bought within the last year.

I use this daily for creative and scientific purposes. It is not only a matter of software. It is the ability to use existing and expensive hardware. Some hardware were made in small quantities that they are not produced anymore and their software will never be updated.

OS X Lion Kills Rosetta PowerPC Support, Here’s What To Do About It

We need Rosetta or another solution to be able to work and make business with our existing non computer hardware. But we also need to updfate our system sooner or later. Apple, please take the history into consideration when you make decisions. It is very important to be able to open and continue to work on old files FCP X in fresh memory.

Thank you! Lots of bits and pieces taken away, but have Apple added any new features in OK uploaded the Lion and lost ability to access my Office, which I use daily. Are there any other versions of Office that run? I have thid CD which came along with my text-book. When i try to use it on my macbook pro OS: Lots of pre existing addons to current software that does run in Lion no longer installs and the developers will not recode the installers.
