Over at Wired Gadget Lab, they're taking a look back at several people who've gone to a bunch of trouble to hack up and deal with the pitfalls of netbooks running OSX. As the story's title states, it ain't pretty. In a nutshell, they found that even if you load a nice OS onto a cheap, tiny computer, you still have to deal with the inherent downsides of a cheap, tiny computer, and when you run an Apple OS on a non-Apple machine, you'll have some software problems. I read this article with great interest, because a few months ago I bought an MSI Wind (the same netbook that this guy used) with thoughts of putting OSX on it. But this article set me to thinking about netbooks, the mythical Apple netbook, and Apple's Newton legacy.

Though it wasn't my intention to make that point, I can see what you're saying. Make no mistake, I admire the hackers and the rabble-rousers who are making netbook hackintoshes, and I don't think they should wait for table scraps from Apple. I just need to complete the four uncompleted hacking projects that I'm already working on before I take on a new one.
