Lion only? Apple keeps turning the screws

Why, oh why, did they have to release this as Lion only? I guess this is there way of turning the screws on customers who refuse to "upgrade" to the worst operating system they've ever released.

Has anyone tried to run this on Snow Leopard? Does it work?

If not, I'll just wait a few month until they release this for Windows XP. Apple has a wonderful habit of releasing software that is compatiable with 10-year-old PCs but not compaitable with 2-year-old Macs (think iCloud, iTunes, Safari, etc.).

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Excellent links. Now have it running on Snow Leopard, beautifully simple. Will be revisiting some other apps I tried to download which were Lion only and trying the same trick there.

Appreciate the help. Shame on Apple for restricting it in the first place.
