I’ve been making a little fun of small laptops all day. Sure they are small, they are affordable, they are really mobile, they are pretty fast, but they are small. Here’s something that made me reconsider their power. An MSI Wind has been hacked and tricked into believing it’s a Mac when in fact it isn’t.

I don’t know how they did it but I want in on the deal. That would be the ultimate kick to Microsoft and their genius Vista! People would switch to OS X immediately if PC’s would suddenly become compatible with Apple OS. But I don’t think Apple will agree to this so fast. They’d have to make it profitable for them first.

The MSI Wind with OS X was reported to run smoothly with both ethernet and Bluetooth functioning completely. There have been no issues reported yet but this is not all official testing is it now. Furthermore I think tweaking your new MSI Wind might break the warranty . Although I’d be willing to risk $500 just to have an unofficial Apple MSI.
