Installing OSX Leopard on your MSI Wind
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "Digital Home Hardware & Accessories" @ 09:00 PM
"I recently got an Advent 4211 variant of the MSI Wind (identical hardware, different colour) from PC World at a bargainous £279.99 (considerably cheaper than the MSI version!). Of course, the first thing I did was upgrade the 80GB hard drive to a 160GB one (same vendor, same model!) that I had lying around, chucked in an extra 1GB DDR2 667MHz SODIMM (bringing the total to 2GB), and then my thoughts turned to which OS to run on it! Although it ships with the perfectly likable Windows XP SP3, I really wanted to know if the machine, with it's respected Intel Atom processor, was up to the job of running OSX Leopard, my operating system of choice. As it turns out, it's running really well.... and this is my guide to getting your Wind running it too."
If you've gotten your hands on the MSI Wind but aren't stoked about the OS, Paul has an exhaustive, 48-step process for getting OSX Leopard installed instead.
