Mac OS X 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.

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.


What are you talking about??

I bought a copy of Snow Leopard for my dad, but before giving it to him, I tried to get that copy to work on my Atom machine. It did work, but I removed it and installed windows XP. That copy of Snow Leopard is now running properly on my dad's iMac - it was a gift for him.

Please don't accuse me of illegal behaviour, sonny. The only lawbreaking I do is speeding and public intoxication. In that order.

Second, it's not an upgrade copy. I tore the entire box apart, and NOWHERE does it say it is an upgrade - heck, it doesn't even state Leopard is required. The lovely girl at the Apple retailer didn't say anything either.
