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.

Of course, there is the "what goes around comes around". As Apple squeezes its customers more and more on these trivial issues (Palm Pre, Non-Apple hardware), at some point the customers might start looking elsewhere. Humans seems to have some kind of attraction for freedom, even when it means abandoning all the "extra coolness" they are currently receiving.

People are sheep, yes, but only to a certain extent. They don't want to feel like sheep.

And yet "people" have been using Windows for more than a decade, an OS from a company who walked on corpses to achieve the monopoly they enjoy today. It got so far that there are people out there who think "Windows = PC" . Baa.

I agree. I enjoy my OpenBSD laptop. I just feel the need to stick up for the sheep once in a while. They are nice folks!

I don't see Microsoft telling me what hardware I can and can't run it on. I don't see them telling me what intel compatible processors I can use. A funny thing about Windows, it's much freer for me to use than MacOS X.
