"About Migration Assistant Update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard
This update addresses an issue with the Migration Assistant application in Mac OS X Snow Leopard that prevents transfer of your personal data, settings, and compatible applications from a Mac running Mac OS X Snow Leopard to a new Mac running Mac OS X Lion.

System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.6.8"

Lion is expected to be released tomorrow. (And ditto I assume for the rumored new Macs - Air, Mini, Pro, etc.)
