Mac Book Pro (OSX 10.8.2) wont let me install Adobe Creative Suite 6

Bought a new Mac Book Pro (OSX 10.8.2) and ALL of our software... THOUSANDS of dollars, some of which is less than 12 months old, will not intall due to the removal of PowerPC. Apple tech support has no interest in helping to find a solution. They arent even interested in helping to problem solve or help downgrade my OS.... We are a non-profit organization that has spent well over $10,000 with apple over 4.5 years and simply can not afford to purchase thousends in new software. Please help with a solution?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 2.6 Ghz intel i7 - 8GB 1600mhz DDR3

PS: Creative Suite 6 was released in March/April 2012... It is less than a year old.

CS6 is certainly compatible with OS 10.8.2. Heck even CS3 works.

You can get in touch with Adobe for help.

What other software is not working?

I know it's compatible. If you can get it to install.

It won't INSTALL because 10.8.2 no longer supports PowerPC. I can't INSTALL Premiere Pro CS3, Creative Suite CS3, Final Cut Studio 2, Microsoft office...

None will install. I checked before a bought the Mac Book that it could RUN CS6. It never said you couldn't install it.

And I DID contact apple. I talked to three different people to have their tech guy tell me I had to buy an older Mac with older OS to install it. With tech support like that, Steve Jobs is likely to return from the dead to knock some heads.

That link was to contact ADOBE, not Apple.

Adobe does know how to install CS3, 4, 5, etc... Their tech support is supposed to be able to help. When you speak to the Adobe agent, ask them about the newer version of the Installer.
