Apple Not Disabling OS X Atom Support After All

Posted by timothy on from the If-you-like-that-sort-of-thing dept.

bonch writes "Contrary to previous reports, Atom chip support is working fine in the latest 10C535 build of OS X 10.6.2. Apple's EULA still states that OS X is licensed to run only on Apple hardware, but it looks like OSX86 hackers can breathe easy ... for now."

    Except for the fun of it, why would anyone want to run an OS that is liable to die at any point? Never really saw the point of doing it other then the 'look what i did' bragging rights factor.

    So, Apple aren't disabling support after all for a CPU/Chipset that they never supported in the first place?
