This is apparently the non-standard thing to do, Apple wants all applications in the Application directory. I installed a lot of the latter ones in my “Utilities” directory.
Here is a partial list of apps that were busted on my computer when I upgraded to Lion, these are the ones I care about: I took a bunch of screen shots, but wait Snapz Pro X was one of many apps I updated today. This blog post is falling apart as I try to upgrade, talk on the phone, type, look for files, add tags, fight with UI changes… The reverse scrolling is also for the birds.

That’s right, Microsoft Excel was a Mac app first. Word is just a glorified text editor, but it helps for large documents with multiple authors, many applications can open Word documents and edit them, but Excel is a very powerful tool for business and was one of the original applications for the Macintosh computer. I already emailed her warning her not to update, but I need Microsoft Office still, everything but Excel I could do without. It has also resulted in many phone calls to my sister. Some PHP decided to stop working on my homepage, a foreach statement making calls to SimplePie just like in the demo, WTF? It has been a WTF day. I’ve spent too much time upgrading my computer today instead of getting stuff done. Yet they both seem to just expect people to just give them more money rather than demand ongoing support. Microsoft Office 2004 was updated in the last little while, so both Microsoft and Apple were well aware many people were still using these programs.

I believe as a legal license holder I deserve a free update in most cases, though I know for some old programs, they are no longer being supported. I’ve been deleting many of the apps, downloading updates when I can, and writing support requests when I’m unsure what to do. I discovered there is a whole website devoted to this.

I did read Apple’s Mac OS X Lion webpage, it doesn’t say anything about Microsoft Office 2004 being broken by the install or Warcraft III or any number of other applications.
You can say well you should have researched before upgrading, to which I say bullshit. Discovering that dozens of apps I downloaded and in many cases paid for no longer work was a shock. My computer is about a year old, it could use a little more RAM perhaps, but I do a lot with it. I certainly didn’t need to spend time and money upgrading to it.

I still didn’t think I should pay money to get features I already had, so I had no plans to upgrade to Microsoft 2011 for Mac, that was until I upgraded to Lion. I wasn’t alone in thinking this was dumb, as Microsoft added VBA support back to Office 2011 for Mac. I stayed at Microsoft Office 2004 because I paid so much money for it, but also because I don’t like the changes Microsoft has made, particularly in removing VBA from Excel. Now I just get an error message when I click on their icons. I spent uncountable hours trying to master Excel. They relied on emulation and automatic translation between the instruction sets of the PowerPC and Intel chips. Turns out older apps denoted PowerPC which makes little sense as I have an Intel chip and so do my sister and mother, won’t work in Mac OS X Lion. The upgrade itself went relatively smoothly, but when apps I use everyday and were in my dock had big no good symbols drawn through the icon, well I told my sister and mother not to upgrade. I have a lot of experience using computers, upgrading computers, developing software, etc. I’ve been using OS X since the public beta. I decided I would upgrade and then see whether my mom and sister should upgrade.
