Apple had a joke with us, Mac OS X 10.6.2 beta 10C535 which is released today has re-joined support Intel Atom processors.
In early time, Apple removed support for low-power processors, Atom, that led to concern from the industry, it is generally considered that Apple would launch its own netbook or tablet products, and Intel needs to be swept out. Now, it just seems like a debugging tool. Of course, we can not guarantee support for Atom will continue to exist in publicly available version.
As we all know, Mac OS X is rather general in supporting third-party hardware, particularly bad in support for non-support for Intel Core2 processor, and also do not provide the support and after-sales service to other hardware. Although Atom being supported by Mac, still need to work after modified by hacker.
