Snow Leopard will probably be supported for a while yet. In time you may find a few issues you need to work around, but not for a while.
I'm not upgrading to Lion yet, I'm going to give it a couple of weeks to see what people say. However, there's no need to fear change! From what I see Lion isn't revolutionary, you would adjust quickly.

There is really nothing to fear with Lion. The upgrade is very easy and it seems to run just fine. As a matter of fact when you are done with the upgrade, your screen will look pretty much the same. You will simply notice the added functions and a few cosmedic changes once you start poking around.
MS Word and Toast have been updated and work just fine with Lion.I won't be upgrading to Lion until I have to. I have quite a few Power PC Apps such as MS Word, Photoshop, Toast etc. I'm more than happy with Snow Leopard too
MS Office for Mac 2004 is PPC based therefore it will not work in Lion. Those users will need to either upgrade to a later version of MS Office for Mac (2008 or 2011) or look for another solution.
I know that. If someone is using MS Office 2004, its time to upgrade. That version is now 7 years old for goodness sake.
