Similarly, Mac OS X 10.5.9 (whenever it’s out) may also include the road block. Reported as highly important news for Hackintosh users who have hacked Atom-based netbooks to run Snow Leopard, a blogger says Mac OS X 10.6.1 is as far as Hackintoshes can go for now – Mac OS X 10.6.2 (currently in development) is dubbed as a “killer” of Atom support for hacked Mac OS X users. Mac OS X running on this architecture can only be what is known as a “Hackintosh” (a non-Apple computer running Mac OS X by means of hacks), as Apple hardware doesn’t include the Atom processor, be it the notebooks, or the desktop Macs.
Reports have confirmed that, although the Mac OS X 10.6.2 update isn’t out yet for Snow Leopard, it does kill support for the Intel Atom processor.
