Default [Eng] Apple killing Atom support
Quote:
Nobody said running a netbook hackintosh would be easy -- but nobody said they'd make it this hard. Apple is currently engaged in a war of compatibility with Palm and, if the developer build of Snow Leopard version 10.6.2 is any indication, the Atom processor is next on the smack down list. Word on coder street is that the upcoming revision of OS X will kill support for Intel's little powerhouse. That could certainly change before it hits the world at large, but we wouldn't bet on it. So, if you're viewing this on an netbook install of your own devising, you may be stuck at version 10.6.1 (or earlier) for awhile -- or you may need to do a little custom kernel building. Either way, we're thinking that if Apple ever gets around to making a netbook it probably won't be an Atom-powered one.
Engadget

Tough break I suppose. I'm sure someone will find a way around it though.

It's not as if ever were as easy as putting in the install CD and you had OS X. This makes it more difficult, but not any more so than installing OS X on an AMD processor.

... and in the end, hackers find a way around it, and Apple only succeeds in making a fool out of themselves.

The destkop Atoms (230 and 330) are 64bit too.

Allright, let me shoot you in the foot, you go the hospital, get treated, and let me shoot you in the foot again.

No? You dont want to? Same thing with Apple here.

Disable automatic updates, if you are running a hackintosh you probably don't even have a valid copy of OSX anyway.

Fixed.

Why should Intel care? Even if the people that can't work OSX on netbooks go out and buy a mac they're still buying an Intel CPU. They're not losing any money over this.

OSX doesn't require a CDkey, it doesn't have genuine validation like windows.

Alot of the hackintosh .iso's out there run the vanilla kernel but with a custom bootloader.
