By adding in code that checks if the OS is running on Atom processor and if it is stop running. Which is exactly what Apple did in a recent update to OSX. It's one thing not to have drivers or what not for hardware you don't sell - that was an active counter measure against running OSX on non Apple hardware. > Much like your jailbreak argument: why buy a Dell if you're going to > run Mac OS X on it? No idea. Plenty of people seem to want to though. Hence the whole Hackintosh community. Unsurprisingly, I think they're a bit nuts - but the point is that Apple are not for tinkering and openness.
