A report by “stellarola” quoted in OSNews confirms what comments on our 10.6.2 post suggested: 10.6.2 removes support for Atom processors, most frequently found in “netbook” computers. This loss of Atom support was spotted in earlier builds, but nobody knew until now whether it’d be in or out in the final configuration.
Is this Apple clamping down on “hackintosh” computers, or just continuing to prune code that it doesn’t need? The answer you prefer likely depends on your previous view of Apple.
