The new OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard update from Apple was released this week with much needed bug fixes but with a few unwanted fixes as well.
'Hackintoshes,' netbooks hacked to run Snow Leopard on Intel Atom processors, will no longer be able to run the operating system.
Mac OS X 10.6.2 will "enhance the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac," says Apple, while fixing 36 bugs and other security updates.
Netbook users did have ample warning, however, via Apple: "You may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you've modified the operating system through other means."
It will likely not be long until there is a workaround but for now users with netbooks running Snow Leopard should probably not update or risk bricking their "Hackintoshes."
