Mac OS X We reported on the lack of Atom support in development builds of Mac OS X 10.6.2, but a more recent build re-enables support for Intel's Atom line, popular in netbooks. "In the latest development build Atom appears to have resurrected itself zombie style in 10C535. The Atom lives another day, but nothing is concrete until the final version of 10.6.2 is out."

I have an Amstrad machine (uses floppy,2 actually) and I can confirm that it doesn't run the latest OS X build.


That's almost as bad an analogy as the imagined scenario about people complaining that OS X won't run on their toasters.

Let me spell it out:

Most generic x86 hardware == compatible with OS X, with the exception of a few artificial barriers put in place by Apple.

Armstrads, and toasters, and pretty much everything else == fundamentally incompatible with OS X in just about every way possible.

See the difference?
