OS X 10.6.2 is out, and it's a veritable bug-squashing party. That infamous glitch that was destroying user accounts a while ago has been taken care of, as have a few dozen other annoyances. But whither our sweet Hackintosh?
Prior builds of 10.6.2 have flip-flopped between treating Intel Atom support — vital to netbook hackintoshing — as a bug that needs to be fixed, or as something they should just leave be, because oh god, I love my hackintoshed netbook so goddamned much, why don't you just leave me alone?, etcetera. Any brave EULA-flouters want to give this thing a go?
Anyway, here's the changelog! The most notable changes are the aforementioned account-eating error, as well as a fix for an irritating glitch with four-finger Exposé gestures only working in one direction. Weighty stuff. [Apple via Loopinsight]
