When attempting to open a PowerPC-based application, this alert appears: "You can't open the application (name of application) because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

After upgrading to Mountain Lion my 2004 office will no longer work! I get a power pc is no longer supported? I thought I did something? Nope just apple making us assume the position again!

Is there a patch for this or have to shell out another $100 plus dollars??

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1, Drives me nuckin futs!

I would pay for the latest MS Office anyway. Using an office from 2004 would expose compatibility problems. The problem is that since PPC based computers are increasingly rare, apple sees no need to eat up disk space supporting its applications.

I doub't it will... Too much technology would be thrown out. Plus, its practically impossible to run computers on ARMs.
