Mac OSX used to use a framework known as Rosetta that was able to take applications that were written to work on the old IBM Power PC processors and let them work on newer intel based Apple machines. The purpose of this was to allow for a transiton of people still using older software to evenually catch up with the Hardware (your computer). The technology industry is always changing and getting better. Because of this companies like Apple can only support older software for so long. Apple will usually support things for 5-7 years which to be honest is much longer than alot of other companies will support their own products. Now that the time has passed and Apple has moved forward they will be able to bring more great features to the table and harness more processing power by dropping Rosetta and support for old Power PC software as well as using a truely 64 bit operating system to fully make use of all that great power that computers have in their hardware now. I salute Apple for always pushing forward to the future.
If you check, this post is over 12 months old and the OP never returned in that time.
