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.

_Thank you_. Nothing in an EULA, or the law, states that Apple _have_ to support any hardware at all, just because you _could_ install it on it.
It works on the hardware they decide, and people getting uppity about what it doesn’t support has nothing to do with rights, and is in no way a direct and ‘evil’ move by Apple. The fact it worked on Atom before was not how it was sold. That is your own personal choice to run it on Atom and there is no support. If it stops working, again, on your own head be it since you’re installing it on something that is not listed on the box as being compatible in the first place.
At no point in this game did Apple ever acknowledge Atom support or lack there of.
