Apple Flips the Finger at Hackintosh Community, Disables Atom Support
Posted 11/10/09 at 12:32:49 PM by Paul Lilly
Rumors of an Atom ban turned out to be true, as the Hackintosh community found out with the latest update to Apple's Snow Leopard OS.
"Well, looks like I was right, again," Hackintosh guru StellaRola wrote in a blog post. "The netbook forums are now blowing up with problems of [Snow Leopard] 10.6.2 instant rebooting their Atom-based netbooks. My sources tell me that every time a netbook users installs 10.6.2 an Apple employee gets their wings."
While the ban presents a temporary setback, StellaRola reiterated that "this is OSx86 after all," and predicted that a modded kernel is likely just around the kernel.
In the meantime, a user on the MyDellMini forum claims to have found a workaround that entails running 10.6.2 with a 10.6.1 kernel. The process involved booting from a backup, mounting the 10.6.2 partition, and punching in a few commands, all of which you can read here.

Is it just me, or is Apple's tactics more restrictive than MSFT could ever think of being. Seems MSFT doesn't really care what device their products go on as long as you paid for your copy.

Windows 7 runs awesome on a netbook! I have a 1002HA I use at work for testing, and I loaded Windows 7 on it and it runs beautifully!!

Screw the netbooks, how about hacking one of those 15", $300 Asus laptops at Best Buy? Now that would be useful.
