When Apple transitioned its computers to Intel processors in the late 2000s, the company eased the transition for its users by including Rosetta with the Mac OS X operating system. Rosetta is a software translator that allows machines with Intel processors to run software written for PowerPC processors. Apple removed Rosetta from Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, but still gave users the ability to install it as an optional add-on. According to AppleInsider, all support for Rosetta will be removed from Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, including the ability to install it as an add-on. Aside from the possibility of some independent coder devising a workaround, it looks like this spells the end of being able to run PowerPC software natively on Intel Macs.

10.7: Resurrect older Java.app's without Rosetta Authored by: lugal on Nov 10, '11 04:54:31AM Independently, I found the same solution-but when I came here to post it, I saw that aramis had beaten me to the punch by a couple months. PyRosetta is available for Mac (64-bit OS X v10.5+) and Linux (64-bit Red Hat and 64-bit Ubuntu) platforms in continuous release versions (usually we have a fresh builds available daily). Running on Windows-10 (thought Unix layer) is are also supported. Additionally, both Python 2.7 and 3.5 is supported. Mac OS X 10.7 Lion was released on July 20, 2011. It brought developments made in Apple's iOS, such as an easily navigable display of installed applications called Launchpad and a greater use of multi-touch gestures, to the Mac. This release removed Rosetta, making it incompatible with PowerPC applications. According to AppleInsider, all support for Rosetta will be removed from Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, including the ability to install it as an add-on. Aside from the possibility of some independent coder devising a workaround, it looks like this spells the end of being able to run PowerPC software natively on Intel Macs. Will this be a problem for you?

Will this be a problem for you? Do you still have older Mac software that you can’t do without, and would this prevent you from upgrading to Lion?
