Did Apple Kill Hackintosh Netbooks?

Not everyone can afford those expensive Apple Macbooks these days. They cost you close to $1000 (at least) and are certainly not for everyone. At the same time, you can’t deny the fact that Mac OS is one fun operating system to play with. And the fact that you can install it on a netbook gives you the chance to own a Mac-netbook without having to pay thousands of dollars to Apple. But there is one problem: Apple is not going to let you get away with it. Apple seems to have dropped a bomb on hackintosh netbooks by disabling support for ATOM processors.

Hackintosh netbooks used to work fine before Apple decided to stop the practice of installing Mac OS on netbooks. If you have a hackintosh netbook, you may want to stay away from any updates in the near future. Unless, you want your hackintosh to stop working.

Unfortunately, Apple is not giving us a netbook, and it doesn’t want anyone to install its operating system on netbooks either. Where does that leave us?
