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."

or that since their tablet would run the iPhone os and be arm based there is just no need for Atom in apples product line. with the next line of chips being 32nm and themal output in comparison to preformance is a complete non issue currently there is just no room in apples product line for atom.

It seems like everyone is making a big deal out of nothing. If they were going to do a crackdown on Hackintosh computers. I would think there would be better ways then trying to target the net book market. I think it is probably a case they were trying to fix an issue and if they blocked that CPU support the feature might work.
