Over on Wikidot, there’s a “Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Compatibility List” of applications and their compatibility status with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Each app is assigned to one of four categories: “UNKNOWN,” for apps that are untested, “OK,” for apps that work fine, “NO,” for apps that do not work, and “WARNING,” for those with some problems.
List users are encouraged to collaborate by sharing their experiences using each application and by adding any applications not already listed.
The Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Compatibility List is here.
Everyone should relax. RELAX!
Just install Rosetta using the custom install when you install Snow Leopard, and you’ll be fine. Or, use the basic install, and if, in the course of using your machine, you launch an app that requires it, Snow Leopard will prompt you to install Rosetta, which it will do over Software Update.
A better way to go with obsolete ppc and microsoft software would be to use wine, or wine in a parallel installation of Linux. There are better compatible with microsoft office OS X intel compatible software that should have adequate macro support if you are willing to know what you are actually doing with and in a macro. Learn your alternatives. The ppc MAC users could always switch to a Linux or UNIX OS, too, or add it as a secondary OS.
Freehand MX 2004 does not launch and for some strange reason does not give me the option to launch with Rosetta in the Get Info box.
Jesus, HANDBRAKE works fine.

Gentlemen, gentlemen. I hate MS as much as everyone but I do use Office. Aren’t you grumbling unnecessarily? Get Office 2008 like I have. It’s fine with SnowLeopard.
And, Jesus, Jesus. Instead of asking here, use the site referenced in the article.
Has anyone informed wikidot.com that their compatibility list web page is not compatible with Internet standards?!
I haven’t seen a poorly formatted POS page like that since 1995!!! WTF!? It looks like crap no matter what browser I use!
Conclusion: Fail
More reasons YoYo is a … yoyo:
“I would add: “It’s the first product from Apple that the user will not see any improvements but half of the installed apps will stop working”.”
1) YoYo didn’t read ANY of the dozen reviews published this week about Snow Leopard. Very tardy. ALL of them point out:
— (a) Snow Leopard is noticeably faster. Apple note it is up to 2X faster.
— (b) Snow Leopard takes up remarkably LESS disk space. I’ve seen “5 Gigabytes of space” mentioned. When did anyone EVER see that before? Answer: NEVER. I consider this astounding.
So if our tardy fellow doesn’t bother to notice anything else, he’ll at least notice speed and size.
2) When hasn’t there been a pile of apps for Mac fallen by the wayside with each major OS release? This is, for better and worse, the status quo. I personally find it tedious. On the other had, hacked together software (Hi Adobe! Hi Microsoft!) gets what it deserves.
3) Despite #2 above, the list of incompatible apps so far is very small compared to most previous OS updates. Sorry to disappoint your YoYo-ness.
Installed Snow Leopard yesterday, took 1h15min, freed up 9GB (!!!!!) and is noticebly faster in opening applications etc.
Office:Mac 2004 didn’t work, kept hanging on “optimizing font menu performance”. Problem is with duplicate fonts. Go to fonts in Library, double click a font, Font Book opens, click “resolve duplicates” then click “select duplicates” and delete all duplicate fonts.
Voila, Office:Mac 2004 works with Snow Leopard
Great tip from Menno Hoffman – I had the same problem but the solution took a little more work. After using Font Book to “resolve duplicates” the Office 2004 still kept hanging on “optimizing font menu performance”. I then used Font Book to Validate all the fonts in my system. It found a dozen or so in the “do not use” category and another dozen in the “proceed with caution” category. After removing all of both those categories, Office 2004 was happy and now is working fine.
Running Font Book (OS X application) showed me the conflicting fonts, but it was only after I found and deleted a font with an extension of .dfont was I able to resolve the problem.
Your resolution may differ, of course, but my solution:
– I found a Lucida Grande font with .dfont extension.
– deleted the font, but could not empty the trash as the font was in use.
– restarted iMac and then emptied the trash.
– restarted machine again and was able to run MSOffice.
I hope this helps you.
Loof for this solition for Freehand:
