Have you ever heard of the Hackintosh Netbook community? I know you do because netbooks run better (at least this is what I’ve heard from some users) on Mac OS X than on Windows XP. Apparently, Apple will not support Intel Atom processors anymore beginning with Mac OS X 10.6.2. The latest Mac OS X build was pushed to developers a few weeks ago and it should soon be available for the masses. However, if you have a Hackintosh Netbook you will not be able to run Mac OS X 10.6.2 on your machine.

At the moment users of the Hackintosh Community didn’t announce that they found a workaround, but StellaRolla points to the fact that you can “stock 10.0.0 kernel or use modded Snow kernels.” If you configured your netbook right and Mac OS X runs smooth on your machine then you will definitely want to upgrade to 10.6.2, but sadly, Apple has a problem with you.

The Cupertino-based company is probably jealous that you can make a less than $500 product that is not garbage and with rumors about the Apple Tablet circulating around the web, it’s obvious to me that Steve Jobs doesn’t want heavy competition. Well, if there won’t be a workaround that will allow you to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.2 then you should stick to Snow Leopard 10.6.1 or Leopard 10.5.8 because 10.5.9 will also kill Atom processors support when available.
