Apple killing Intel Atom support with next OS release?

I've covered the story about a potential Apple netbook in the past on multiple occasions here, and we all still keep holding out hope that one day we'll finally have an Apple netbook. Meanwhile, for those of us that didn't want to wait their have been plenty of resources on the web providing information on how to build your own hackintosh netbook. Sadly, this desperate last step may come to an end as well when Apple releases it's next update to the Snow Leopard operating system. Apparently the next version of the OS is supposed to pull support for Intel Atom processors which are found in nearly every netbook on the planet. Fortunately, hackintoshers are a hardy bunch and I'm sure even this step won't stop people from finding a way around the update.

Question to Apple: Why don't you just make your own netbook and we can stop having to resort to desperate measures?
