Accouncing the netXbook - an MSI Wind running 3 OSes - OS X, XP, and Ubuntu Triple Boot

The netXbook (a name which may or may not be said in the video) is what I'm calling my Triple-booting Hackintoshed MSI Wind. The MSI Wind U100 netbook (mini-laptop) is, in my opinion, the best netbook for running osX86, (the Dell Mini 9 is very good, but I don't like the small storage of the SSD - plus it is expensive). Here you see my MSI Wind U100 running three operating systems - Microsoft Windows XP Home SP3, Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04, and Mac OS X 10.5.6. The hardware on the Wind is a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Single-core CPU, 2GB of DDR2 RAM (which I maxed out from the standard 1GB), a 160GB Hard Drive, WiFi N (802.11 a/b/g/n), Bluetooth, 1.3MP Webcam, stereo speakers, built-in mic, 3x USB 2.0 ports, VGA out, and a 5.5 Hour 6-Cell Battery.

would be better if you didnt have 2 bootloaders and you were able to accomplish the same thing using the darwind bootloader. check on google -- there are tutorials out there on how to do this

[chadwsmith]

How do you get OSX on the netbook?

[chadwsmith]

I'm not selling a program. I'm selling a computer. The computer comes with 3 complete operating systems, pre-installed. you can't download a computer.

Ubuntu does not work with Netflix media streaming. A big deal to me. I removed it from my HP Mini. PLus itunes doesnt work with ubuntu or amazon mp3 store big ordeals to me. XP Home for me never windows 7, just a mashup of vista.
