No More Hackintosh for Netbooks ? Mac OS X 10.6.2 Update Kills Intel Atom Support !

Mac OS X 10.6.2 update, a blessing to those who run OS X on their Macs since it fixes over 40 Snow Leopard problems and bugs including the dreaded Account Deletion Bug, apparently kills support for Intel Atom processor - the leading netbook processor by a mile. The update does this by forcing instant reboot, hence the loop, on Atom-based systems.
