MSI Wind = Hackintosh Made Simple
"When I installed Mac OS X on my MSI Wind, one of the key missing features was the lack of WiFi support. Some folks opted to replace the Realtek 802.11b/g module with a compatible one, but I opted to use my EV-DO adapter for connectivity. GottaBeMobile notes that some MSIWind.net forum members are circulating an OS X driver for the Realtek WiFi module and confirm that it works. The driver doesn't cause OS X to see the hardware as an AirPort card, but apparently, you can still configure the WiFi and get it working." 
One of the biggest pains in building a Hackintosh is getting the WiFi working, and it seems Realtek is going out of its way to make sure that the process is a bit easier. I was pondering getting a new Inspiron Mini next year (I sold my Mini 9 to get my MacBook Pro) but now I think the decision has been made for me to go elsewhere. MSI Wind, here I come! I wonder if this means Jason will give making a Hackintosh a try now? Whaddya say, Jason?
