I bought my refurbed Mini 9 specifically to Hackintosh it. I've been using it for a few months now and couldn't be happier with it.

EDIT: I wonder what the poll results would be like if the question wasn't posed in the Mac OS X section of the forum...

Yes, posting in a general forum might have been better. But we do have two infidels in our mist if you look at the poll. LOL.

Having played with my hack'd DM9 over the last few months, I wonder why everyone doesn't hackintosh it. Win7 is awesome too, but doesn't have the same unique "fun factor".

I had debated buying a netbook as soon as I had enabled tethering on my iPhone but had eventually put it on a back burner. I was checking Techbargains on Black Friday and they had a Dell mini deal with a link to the Gizmodo article on running OSX. That was the first I had heard of it but I ended up buying a new 10v 250GB with Windows 7 and a Mini 9 with Ubuntu. The 10v arrived first so it got hacked. I kinda feel bad now because while my intention upon purchase was to hackintosh it, it worked really well with Windows 7. I didn't realize beforehand that all the quirks weren't solved (like wake from sleep) and I already have two MacBooks so I really didn't need another. My original intention was to play with it so had I intended on leaving Windows on it, I wouldn't have bought it but it's a capable little machine that ran Windows 7 better than my Mac through Parallels VM. I just don't know enough to tweak it correctly and it seems like every time I try to fix something I'm stuck for hours repeating the same Windows install steps. I assumed it would be more like jailbreaking and unlocking my iPhone with Blackra1n. Just run a program and you're set. More options? Just check Cydia, Rock or Ice. Now I'm kinda scared of the netbook. I want to try and install Linux in addition to the 7/OSX and clean up chameleon but I think I need some time away from this thing.
