So although I am very disappointed with Intuit for failing to upgrade the full Mac version of Quicken, I continue to use it by having created a Snow Leopard partition. I searched around but haven’t found anything that meets my needs as well. I could no longer run Quicken which I have relied on for 14 years for my bookkeeping. I recently upgraded my 2010 MacBook Pro to OSX Lion and although I am pretty happy with it, I had one problem. I have great confidence in you and the executive team at Apple to continue his legacy and bring great products to the market. I was saddened, as many people were, by the death of Steve Jobs. A few days ago, I helped my mother (now 74 years old) buy what I believe is her fourth or fifth Macintosh. I am also an Apple stockholder (in a very small way). Now dozens of Macs, iPods, iPhones, and iPads later, I and my family, are all loyal Apple users. In 1986, I spent virtually all of our wedding money for a Mac Plus and an ImageWriter printer. I have been a self-described Apple Fan Boy since 1985 when I guided my mother toward purchasing her first computer, a Macintosh 128K machine. To all those who have posted here, why not send a polite email to Tim Cook? I send this today: Otherwise, I see no reason to buy a license for Fusion. I really recommend that VMware and Apple sit down and work on a revised interpretation of the Apple EULA (I am running Snow Leopard on Apple hardware, albeit within the Fusion virtual environment) so that some of the legacy PPC software out there that has not or will never be updated to run Intel-native can still be used. Now, it appears, that this feature was only a “bug” which will be “fixed” in a Fusion update. I installed the 30 day trial and, with the help of the Fusion community, was able to install my legal copy of OSX Snow Leopard client within my iMac’s Lion disc partition (Snow Leopard being on my other disc partition), and install Quicken 2007, which runs really well within the Fusion vm. I’ve never been interested in installing a virtualization product like Fusion on my Apple computers (I’m not a Windows User) until Fusion 4.1 came out, as I saw a vehicle to keep my PowerPC applications running, mainly Quicken 2007, with the loss of Rosetta support in Lion.
