Presumably this is not what was intended ?

The web-site also seems confused.

(And it just ploughs ahead and installs, without checking the OS version)

Well, the typos are now cleared up, but you really need two download buttons (one for 1.10.2, for OS X 10.7 etc, and one for 1.10.3 and the early adopters of 10.8)

With 30m hits for Google searches like "Mountain lion" problems -wildlife there will be potential customers who simply want to get things done, and will be put off by the (misleading) implication that OmniFocus can only be used by early-adopters battling with all the glitches of a still-unweaned new operating system…

(At the moment, only pushing into the small print and other pages shows that use of OmniFocus is actually separable from all the current infelicities of ML).

There is, however, a clarifying tweet:

(probably worth spelling this out in the customer-facing material too ...)

Rob, I'm confused. Are you seeing the 1.10.3 download offered in software update on an OS older than 10.6.8 (the last update of Snow Leopard)?

OmniFocus 1.10.2 is the last release for 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6.0 -> 10.6.7.
OmniFocus 1.10.3 should work great on 10.6.8, 10.7 and 10.8.

I do not expect we will make OmniFocus require 10.8 before many more of our customers update to it.
