I'm assuming this is a Hack. I upgraded from my original Core Duo Mac to a Core 2 Duo Mac so I could upgrade to Lion an upgrade to ICloud.
I gave the Mac to a girlfriend for casual use, but she's using it in a closed network, and they won't let her on the Internet because Snow Leopard is no longer supported by Apple security updates, despite being perfectly functional otherwise. Surprisingly, their IT department has said they will upgrade it to Lion so she can get onto the Internet. Now, I thought I had read that this was possible, but because I needed iCloud, I didn't really look into it. And of course I'm not opposed to it, but I'm concerned about what this means in terms of support and features. If their IT department wants to support an unsupported Apple hack, then that's one thing, but putting me in the position to support it when she leaves is another.
Is anyone running something higher then Snow Leopard on a Core Duo Mac? And if so, what do I need to know about the limitations, or are there any besides Apple not supporting an install?
