Pardon the image but I wanted to show how Apple is morphing itself into an evil entity.  It’s been said that in the most recent OS X update to 10.6.2 support for Intel Atom processors will end.  This means that people who try to put this update on their netbooks hoping to turn it into a Hackintosh will be deeply disappointed.

What options exist?  You can either make sure to get 10.6.1 and don’t update or hope that someone hacks 10.6.2 to allow everyone to get back to getting cheap Macbooks.
