Yes, and that's intentional. Do you have any pointer where Apple announces it will deny the start of an Intel based application when bundled with a ppc based when Rosetta is dropped? I'd rate this as a ridiculous decision or a bug. Furthermore, it works on other Lion systems. The web search lead me to this page: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3215877?start=0&tstart=0 But I don't know how it is related. Stephan
