I've got a MacPro, an iMac (both Late 2008 Editions) and a iMac about 3 years old. After all, we're not asking for OS9 apps to run -)īut there are other reasons besides just being stubborn, that makes upgrading either problematic or extremely expensive. And another app (Filemaker Pro) is very expensive to upgrade. In my case, a very popular app (Quicken 2007) won't run without Lion. I'm a believer of keeping things updated, but sometimes certain migrations become problematic. I would have written your sentence as "But if Rosetta is really being dumped, as the Lion betas suggest, suddenly it seems that the disadvantages greatly outweigh the benefits of Lion for my particular needs." In that sentence I qualify my statement by acknowledging that it is not included. I'd say it would be better to not confuse (what reads as) skepticism with prudence.
What I don't know is why you think it's not just an "if" but "a big if. We know when Apple stopped selling PPC-based Macs.
We now Apple has a history of ditching legacy code and HW whenever it can. We know Snow Leopard already required the system to be Intel-based. We know it only runs on 64-bit processors, excluding even the 32-bit Intel processors. We know Rosetta has not been in any of the 4 Previews. Look at hypotheses, theory and scientific method for examples. It is not a rational and logical conclusion based on the available evidence. The idiom "jump to conclusions" implies a leap where the facts presented don't warrant the conclusion. I'm trying to avoid jumping to conclusions based solely on the latest developer release.
