OS X on the MSI Wind

So you’re a Mac enthusiast and you’re wishing that Apple would release something like a netbook.. what do you do in the meantime? Take an existing netbook and install OS X on it of course! That’s what the folks at Wired’s Gadget Lab did with an MSI Wind netbook. The distro used for this hackery is known as “MSIWindosx86″ which includes all the necessary pieces to make OS X work on the MSI Wind netbook. Installation is apparently a piece of cake though some components won’t work under OS X (such as the Ethernet port and the microphone/headphone jacks). However Wi-Fi does indeed work (which should be enough for one’s networking needs I assume) so you still have some Internet access on the machine. You can read more about the hack job here at Wired.com’s Gadget Lab page. You should also check out the YouTube video detailing the OS X Leopard installation.
