No Gordon it does not support Intel Atom in this release.
"Intel Atom support is confirmed to be missing in the final release of
10.6.2, citing multiple prominent Hackintosh sources.
Apple's latest update for Snow Leopard has broken support for Intel's
Atom processor line. Mac OS X 10.6.2 was released Monday afternoon,
and was Apple's second major update for Snow Leopard."

Any word on if this final release has Atom support or not?
I don't need it myself, but I know a few people who use Hackintosh
netbooks that would be sad to see it go and I had been thinking about
going down the netbook route myself.

Hi WAMUGers,
Apple has released Mac OS X 10.6.2, a sizable update to Snow Leopard
that touches on many areas of the operating system. The changes are
too numerous to chronicle: read Apple's About the Mac OS X 10.6.2
Update page for a list of changes. Also note the page detailing the
security improvements in this update.

A few important items do jump out:
* The update fixes the Guest account deletion bug that would delete
one's own user directory when you logged back in after a Guest login
session was complete (see "Apple Acknowledges Guest Account Data
Loss Bug, 13 October 2009).
Mac OS X 10.6.2 is available via Software Update or as two
standalone downloads: the Mac OS X 10.6.2 Update is 473 MB and the
Mac OS X 10.6.2 Update (Combo) is 479 MB. Typically, the Combo
update would update Mac OS X 10.6.0 and higher, while the regular
update would cover only Mac OS X 10.6.1. Presumably, the small size
difference is related to the fact that Mac OS X 10.6.1 was an
extremely small update.

Also, the size of the update via Software Update can vary widely,
depending on your computer. My 2.33 GHz MacBook Pro, released in
2006, required a 499.9 MB download, while my Mac mini from earlier
this year needed a 157.7 MB download as was a colleague's Mac Pro
from early 2008.
Apple also released Security Update 2009-006 Client (143 MB) and
Security Update 2009-006 Server (231 MB) for Mac OS X 10.5.8, which
include the numerous security enhancements in Mac OS X 10.6.2,
linked above. As ever, the issues addressed patch vulnerabilities
exploited by maliciously crafted files or Web sites.
