Thanks so much Jonathan, I am running an Intel box, Quicken is the
latest for the Mac (2007) so I guess you are saying it was written for
PowerPC and all along Rosetta has been allowing it to work on the Intel.
Intuit should have their head handed to them for not bringing the
program up to today's standard. UGH.
Thanks again.

Today I installed Snow Leopard on the computer that I allow
visitors to use, so there are few programs on this machine, however
Quicken is used so once the install was over I tried to start
Quicken, I was given a dialogue box saying that "Rosetta" would
need to be installed, I said yes. Then I could start Quicken.
Is Rosetta an emulation program of some sort, and will it need to
be installed unless a program is written in 64 bit? Need info. to
determine if I want to go ahead and install on the other computers
at this time. If all programs are finally written for 64 bit is it
hard to uninstall Rosetta?
Rosetta has been in all versions of OS X since Tiger was made to run
on Intel boxes. It is code that emulates PowerPC code on an Intel
box. It is still required in Snow Leopard so that you can run older
software and would it have been easier on everyone if it was
installed by default. It is not, however. You can tell the installer
to turn it on when you do the install, or SnoLeo will install it for
you when it finds it needs it--asking politely first, though, as you
discovered.
