And even worse (presuming they will fix Quicken 2007 for Lion) is that that is NO upgrade path for those users of Quicken 2004 and earlier:
http://quicken.intuit.com/support/help/upgrading-and-conversion/quicken-mac-2007 -os-x-lion-compatible/GEN84015.html
Why is that important? Intuit gradually subjected Quicken for Mac to various lobotomy procedures each year to strip features out of it. For example, Quicken 2005 and thereafter do NOT have the ability to track stock market transactions. DUH!
In addition MANY people have expressed their frustrations with scanner software, bar-code reader software, hobbiest software (for example, ham radio) that may NEVER be upgraded to work on an Intel Mac.
So yes, the ship has sailed, but for many they are looking for alternative transportation...
PeterMac suggests: "Run two OSs in two partitions, run SL ... under VM" which for many are the only solutions that, in his opinion, will ever work with Lion.
