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."

Well, not everyone who builds a hackintosh has a legal copy of OS X. I know quite a few people who simply download one of the hacked ISOs from their favorite bittorrent mirror and never buy a license at all. So, whether it's legal or not isn't something you can say, Thom. More to the point, though, I'd say this is supposed to be reported here since it's news about an operating system and this is osnews. Imagine that. Perhaps a bit less sensationalism in the original article when Atom support was removed would've been better though, you made it sound like Apple was intentionally breaking hackintosh netbooks. I'd not put it past them to do such a thing, but it's always best to have proof first.

Why is it crappy reporting to inform my readers that an upcoming operating system update might break their legally installed operating systems?
Well I don't know about the legality of installing Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware, but since Thom seems to think he knows what's up and down on this matter, why doesn't he go ahead and make a ruling on that pathetic matter of Apple vs. Psystar, while he's at it?
