There have been recent reports suggesting Apple was axing Intel’s Atom processor support in the next update of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. If Apple were to cut Atom support, the update would break many “Hackintosh”, or non-Apple computers, specifically netbooks, running Mac OS X.
Stellarola, the source of this discovery, has updated the blog post originally stating that the then-latest developer build of 10.6.2 works just fine on Atom-based machines.
Anyways, in the latest development build Atom appears to have resurrected itself zombie style in 10C535. The Atom lives another day, but nothing is concrete until the final version of 10.6.2 is out.
Two developer builds later it appears Atom support is still there, but what else is in the latest developer build (Build 10C540)? Glad you asked. World of Apple reports that this latest build fixes a mysterious issue that Apple refers to as “plugging and unplugging to an Apple TV”, which may refer to an AppleTV connecting with the new 27-inch iMacs. Additionally, there are no known issues, and fixes things like, Airport problems on the new iMacs, AFP panics, graphics driver panics, and resolves issues involving VMWare.
