If you want a fully supported Mac system, then buy it from Apple.
#Atom for mac 10.6 update
If you want a hackintosh safe from being broken in an update (and that you know will have drivers, etc.), then use the same hardware that apple uses/has used.
#Atom for mac 10.6 mod
If apple can do something to break compatibility with non-supported hardware, they have every right to (and if you can find a hack or mod that brings support back or works around it, you have every right to). WTF? …Also, to add to hackintosh’s post – while apple has no legal right to stop an individual from making a hackintosh, an individual has no legal right to make apple support it.

Why does every article on this reverse position? Originally everyone said support was dropped, then I read the newer build brought back atom compatibility, then I read it was just some dumbass who messed up his hackintosh install and atom compatibility was never lost in the first place, and now this.

Update 2: And now you can see the endless reboot cycle for yourself thanks to molder. Update: In case you were wondering what kind of errors you would get if you did try installing OS X 10.6.2 on a netbook, MyDellMini forum member Crisu reports that the computer fails to boot and then tries rebooting… over and over again. But for right now, if you have OS X installed on your netbook, you’ll probably want to hold off on downloading the update. It’s very possible, (perhaps even inevitable) that sooner or later a hacker will figure out some way to modify the OS to support Atom powered netbooks. But it looks like the final build that was released today falls into the not-working category. There had been some reports over the past week or so that pre-release builds of OS X 10.6.2 did or didn’t work with Atom. But Atom compatibility is clearly not a high priority for Apple since the company doesn’t make any products that use the processor. It’s not clear whether Apple would have intentionally broken Atom support in this release to discourage people from installing the operating system on netbooks. How long will my Fire Tablet get security updates?Īpple pushed out OS X 10.6.2 today, and while the latest Snow Leopard update fixes a whole slew of bugs, it introduces one major problem for netbook hackintosh builders: It d oesn’t seem to work with the Intel Atom processor.

Apple knew that switching to Intel’s architecture would result in small amounts of non-official usage…it’s not going to make a noticeable difference for a company with $25 bn in the bank, especially with the increased switching over to Mac.ĭoes Apple have the right to try to defend its product? Sure. The relatively small segment of people running OS X on non-Apple hardware are looking to fill a need that Apple hasn’t addressed. By switching to an x86 architecture, Intel has opened its OS up to being ‘hacked’… if you can really call it Johnson The initial difficulty with using Apple’s OS X was that it was built to run on IBM Power PC processors, which don’t use the same x86 architecture that most Intel and AMD processors utilize.
