All versions of Quicken for Mac prior to 'Quicken Essentials for Mac' are built for either 68K-series chips (Classic MacOS) or PowerPC chips (Classic MacOS, Mac OS X).

Quicken 2007 for Mac OS X Lion is a re-engineered version of Quicken Mac 2007 that will work on OS X 10.7. This version is ideal for Quicken for Mac customers who use Apple's latest operating system OS X Lion.

As such, none will run on Lion without the aid of third-party Mac emulators, and a copy of the ROM and OS from a real Mac that you own. 'Lion-compatible Quicken 2007' implies (Mac OS X, Intel) binaries. From what I think I read on some blog, Rosetta was technology licensed by Apple, and Apple decided that they didn't want to pay for it and fund its support anymore. A few months ago there were rumors that Intuit might decide to license that code themselves. That's why it was suggested that necessary parts of Rosetta might have been licensed by Intuit and grafted onto Quicken. With this admittedly patchy solution, that does not require wholesale recoding, Rosetta could be used to run Quicken under Lion, so that the absence of Rosetta in Lion does not matter anymore.

For Quicken at least. Conchita wrote: But there is no rosetta in lion, so how can that be? If you're starting fresh I would avoid Quicken altogether. I have Essentials and it has been one of the most unreliable apps I've ever used.

Just last month I couldn't connect to PayPal for 29 days due to server issues on their end. Conchita wrote: Right, but that's my question. Since they say that if you are starting fresh you should use quicken essentials instead, what exactly is this?

Whatsapp for mac os x 10.8.5. If it was a whole recoded version you would think it would be marketed for everyone, so I don't understand just exactly what happens when you install it. If I get a new computer that only has lion, is it a full install? If so, why is it only for people who already used it in the past? Do you see what I mean?

Actually rosetta translates code written for G3/4 powerPCs to work on intel machines. I'm sure you must have read that apple isn't writing for PowerPCs anymore.

By removing this, apps become very slimlined and easier to develop. Intuit is just a shitty company trying to grab the last remaining $$$$ on a product they let die.

Essentials was a joke! Thankfully while intuit ignored us Mac folks for 5 years most banks now have much better online services. I'd used Quicken for years, but never went beyond 2003, the last reasonable version -- at least until I had to give it up when I went to Lion.
