Ok Apple nice with all these new features for the new operating system but how about throw us a bone for Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3. We need a fix to the problem that doesn't involve bootcamp and Windows. You guys spend all this time getting new features but won't spend maybe a couple hours to fix Lion or Mountain Lion to run these games its not have to be had to get these 2 games to play with Mountain Lion if you can get Diablo 3 to work.

Getting these decade+ old games to run under Lion is not a matter of "a couple of hours" work for Apple. It requires before anything else a technology to which they do not have, and cannot get, a license. (So even if they spent the months or years necessary to recreate it, they'd likely be successfully sued.) It would actually be a quicker project for Blizzard who - like other vendors of commercial entertainment titles - doesn't see the profit in continuing to put meaningful engineering resources into a title that's 10 years old. And that's what Blizzard and Apple are both about: profit.

Interesting that you'll blame Apple for breaking very old software (by not providing the emulation environment required to run it) but not the vendor (for failing to put a much smaller effort into keeping their software up to date).
