Mac OS X on MSI Wind

MSI Wind
In the other post I've put a video with Ubuntu running on a MSI Wind. Now we can see how this netbook handles with the Mac OS X. Some said that it isn't suitable for the MSI but I think that If you have the White version and if you put a sticker on the back with Apple nobody can tell that under there their is a MSI. Enjoy the video !

That’s amazing! Great job.
I had been impatiently waiting for a Wind (here in the US they are not for sale yet, at least the 6-cells) but the same thing happened to the Wind as happened to the EEE PC 10″ that I was waiting for when I spotted the Wind: while awaiting the EEE, the Wind appeared! Bye-bye EEE. And now in this case, while waiting for a Wind, the Lenovo Ideapad S10 broke water, and I’m again swept away.
So now, bye-bye Wind, I’m waiting until October for an S10. . . Will something else pop up? Why not, they just keep getting better and better.
At any rate, they all (except the HP) are so far are using the same basic hardware, so it’s possible to imagine OSX running on an S10 if it’ll run on the Wind. Can you point me to resources that could help figure out the install? How did you manage it? Will the OS be able to download security updates, etc.? And do you think Apple will try to “poison” OSX updates to prevent non-Apple hardware running X? Being able to run OSX would be a radically good solution for me - have a 2-year-old MacBook (Tiger) and really love it.
I think you’ve done a great job - congratulations!
