Anyone who hangs around on websites with information about installing Mac OS X on non-Apple labelled computers has probably already encountered this report, but it's newsworthy anyway. The upcoming release of Mac OS X 10.6.2 will remove support for the Intel Atom line of processors from Mac OS X.

people just don't like your 'reporting' Thom, you're incredibly biased with how you feel the world should revolve around your student lifestyle.
you even admitted buying the $29 snow leopard 'upgrade' for your dad's machine and then making an illegal copy of it for your machine that didn't even have a valid Leopard license.
This isn't even news to begin with anyways, Apple isn't dropping support for something it never support, it just so happened to work previously. OSX never showed CPUIDs for ATOM or the number of others (Core 2 Quad, etc, etc).
The spin here is Apple has investigated how Atom was working and then blocked when there is no proof of that. Further optimization and upgrades to the kernel likely caused it to stop booting or being supported, but nobody has looked into this yet because you are biased (as well as many other sites out there).
