The "newest version of LimeWire" in fact does not work on an Intel iMac. You need to get the BETA (prototype) version. If you download "the latest", you get 4.10.3. My best guess is that within a few days we'll build and release a production version that runs on the Intel iMacs.

What you're seeing as the "newest version" is actually several versions old. Once we like one of our prototypes, we make what's called a beta build. People can download the beta and play around with the new features. Sometimes people discover bugs in the beta, or the beta testers have good suggestions for small tweaks. It's this prototype version that has the "fat" libraries for PPC and i386 Mac OS X.
