Who Needs an Apple Netbook Anyway?

Are you sick off those daily rumors about an upcoming Apple netbook too? Would you buy the Mac Wood 9.5" just because it consumes so little power?

Apple's chief operating officer Tim Cook does not seem to be very fond of netbooks, as he is complaining about cramped keyboards, junky hardware, very small screens, bad software which is not a consumer experience that we would put the Mac brand on. So the questions remains: If Apple does not need an Apple netbook who else does?

Mac OS X runs fairly well on a variety of existing netbooks, so you just need to learn how to turn your netbook into a hackintosh, if you are in need of a proprietary operating system that certainly works and looks better than its counterpart from Redmond.

But wait, there is a better alternative, if you want to enjoy the beauty of the Mac OS X user interface and the freedom of software developed in the open. Turn your Linux into an OS X look-alike. The Mac4Lin project is aimed at doing just that and the how to make Linux look like Mac OS as well as tutorials on turning Ubuntu Hardy and Ubuntu Intrepid into Mac OSX Leopard will guide you on your way.
