You can read all about it here, straight from Quicken’s support web site. What it means is you will not be able to use Quicken on a Mac running Lion. Apple provides software called Rosetta which translates PPC programs into something the Intel Macs can use, but it slows everything down and while it’s available in every version of Mac OS X from 10.0 to 10.6, Apple is leaving it out of Lion. Instead, it’s written for the older PowerPC chip (PPC). After all these years (five of them), Quicken is still not Intel-native. It might be better if you don’t, because you might not be able to use some of the software you’re used to using. If you are on 10.6.8 you’ll be able to download it in a few weeks for $29. Mac OS X 10.7, otherwise known as “Lion”, is coming soon. By the way, you will not find any new features in this version, unless you call “functional” a new feature. They want $14.99 for the download but if you want to run Quicken on a Mac with OS X Lion (or a later system) you have no choice.
I managed to find the link for you: click here. Unfortunately, they do not provide a link or any information about how you go about getting the Lion-compatible version. UPDATE (March 8th, 2012): Intuit has built a Lion-compatible version of Quicken 2007! You can read all about it on their site, at this page.
