QuickTime%20PlayerScreenSnapz008 Paul at MoDaCo has managed quite a feat, hacking, stomping and shoehorning Mac OS X onto a MSi Wind (well, an Advent, but same thing). He gives a step by step guide HERE to how he manages it and admits not everything works right out of the box. Wireless requires actually swapping physical antennas and the keyboard is acting sort of weird…but hey, dig the docking port at the bottom the screen!

This is certainly the MacBook for the budget conscious consumer, give or take a little soldering and a few features…like hibernating. All in all, very very impressive. Now, if anyone can install the innards of IBM’s Blue Gene onto my Eee 701, I will be able to finally get that one world government thing going.

Check out the MacWind goodness below.

By day a department manager and writer for a major network device vendor...by night Zealot stalks the mean magnetic streets, striking fear into the hearts of bandwidth abusers and theme park mascots. Zealot has been involved with mobile devices for more than a decade now, starting off with dumb phones, moving to PDAs and then to smartphones, notebooks and netbooks with the odd PMP thrown in. Most of his mobile time currently is spent on a Treo Pro, Zune HD, Thinkpad T61, Gigabyte M912M or a Hackintoshed Compaq Mini 704. He proudly groks the Geek community and considers himself a Neo Maxi Zune Dweebie (thanks Will Wheaton!).
