When launching an application which requires a newer version of the
OS, the OS displays the string:

 "You cannot use the application "XXX" with this version of Mac OS
X."

I was just wondering if there was any way to control what appeared
here so it wasn't so curt - it would be nice to mention what the
minimum version of the OS was, for example.

I'm guessing there isn't...

And yes, there is no control over the message.


I'm actually curious about something.

Do people just accept this behavior or does anyone bypass the check that Apple does and do their own checking, supplying their own message?

This seems popular, but I personally just accept the behaviour.
