Despite reports to the contrary, current Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard builds do not support the Intel Atom processor. The report that support had returned is a fake, and the most recent build 10C540 still does not support the Atom processor. C'est tout.

"Stories like this make me glad that I don't use any Apple products...
Apple products generally work just fine with other Apple products. As for the Atom processors, I wouldn't hold my breath either way but the company really doesn't need to spend time helping people not subsidising their operating system costs. " Well, yes. Precisely. Exactly so.
Also, mind you, mobile people who want to get things done easily and quickly while on the go, and who want an ultra-portable, lightweight, inexpensive but still full-featured machine, really don't need to spend their money subsidising Apple.

Having just upgraded to the latest Ubuntu release, I think that those people could ditch Windows and/or Mac OS X and be quite happy. I'm not quite able to do it yet, unfortunately, but consumers should enjoy the extra money they save, especially on netbooks.
