It was going to happen eventually, since Windows has 18 times OS X's marketshare, but Windows 7 already passed Apple's install base about a month after having been released. Again, not a surprise, but it is interesting how many people already upgraded to Windows 7 (or bought a new machine with Windows 7 on it). [Computerworld]

Intel Atom's Snow Leopard Compatibility Re-Hacked
The 10.6.2 update for Snow Leopard didn't include Atom chipset support, so it wouldn't work on hackintoshes—but didn't keep enterprising hackers from finding a workaround. They promised it last week, and now they've delivered: Atom support is back, although apparently implementing the fix isn't the easiest project. Still, the ball's in Apple's court now. Is this going to turn into a Palm Pre-iTunes thing, or will Apple just let it lie? [Yahoo]
