We've seen some pretty clever and professional Hackintosh netbooks out there, all likely a product of Apple's unwillingness to join the netbook industry. Unfortunately for those with enough time on their hands to make one, a recent update to Leopard – OS X 10.6.2 – is undermining their hard work.
The culprit is a number of CPU-related changes that render the OS incompatible with Intel Atom CPUs. The Atom runs on the vast majority of netbooks, including the MSI Wind many hackers are fond of for this particular project.
Anyway, if you're reading this from your Hackintosh just as your Leopard update downloads on Firefox, I suggest you wait for a full release of Leopard to see if Atom compatibility comes your way.
