The latest Snow Leopard update (OS X 10.6.2) is out. While it does fix a number of bugs, it has introduced a major problem on its own. The new OS doesn’t seem to work with Intel Atom processors. It is not yet known whether this was intentional move by Apple or not.
Atom compatibility can’t be a huge priority for Apple simply because the company doesn’t have a product running on that processor. Another possible explanation for this incompatibility is that Apple wants to discourage the practice of installing their OS on netbooks using Atom processors.
There is still hope, though. Sooner or later a hacker is going to modify the OS so that it would support Atom powered netbooks. But for the time being, netbook users who have installed OS X on their device shouldn’t give into the temptation of downloading this new update.
Apple is all set to fire up the OS sector. The next adaptation of the Apple operating system has been authoritatively dubbed. Approaching just a few days following the declaration of Mac OS X 10.6, the innovative name for the novel variant will authoritatively be 'Snow Leopard'. Snow Leopard will be a familiar sight for Apple, as it's the 1st variant that will not hold up Power PCs. In adding together, this let loose will not recommend any noteworthy innovative features or changes; 10.6 are projected frequently to concentrate on security aspects. A manifestation of Snow Leopard will be presented at WWDC later on.
