Mac OS X Apple has finally released Mac OS X 10.6.2, the latest version of its Snow Leopard operating system, and be prepared for a massive update for your Mac: 473MB. There's a lot of stuff in here, and among other things, it includes a fix for the guest account data loss bug.

"This means that if you exercised your rights by installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on an Atom-based machine (netbooks, mostly), you'll have to avoid the 10.6.2 update for now
Should read: This means that if you clicked agree when you really didn't agree and subsequently installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard on an Atom-based machine (netbooks, mostly), you'll have to avoid the 10.6.2 update for now "

Or it could read: If you installed an earlier version of Mac OSX on your netbook, you should just give up now and get another OS which is actually intended to support running on a netbook.

Well, the various netbook manufacturers don't care what you run on it, so if someone wants to either stick with 10.6.1 or try one of the workarounds for 10.6.2, that is their prerogative.

And, other than Ubuntu Netbook Remix, can you please cite an example of an OS "intended to support" netbooks specifically? Windows XP came out over six years before the first netbook, Vista over a year before. Windows 7, while a great choice for netbooks, is intended to run on the widest possible range of x86/x64 hardware; no specific netbook support there.

If you really did mean to suggest Ubuntu NR, why not just name it outright? Save the reader a step, and all. You would still have been as snarky as you intended.
