Atom Support Returns in More Recent Mac OS X 10.6.2 Seed

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 4th Nov 2009 22:10 UTC, submitted by mckill

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."

Bug?

So, for all this hype over Apple's evilness, chances are this is simply a bug in one version due to Apple not testing on unsupported Atom, and fixed once they found out about it?

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get ya...

Yep, it looks the Atom breakage was merely sloppiness/incompetence rather than evilness.
