So…. what version of OSX is this? I am really interested in installing it myself but i have nowhere to begin…. also, how much space do i need to install this OS? i have a 500 gb HDD on my 2133 but I have Windows 7 installed in a 400 gb partition and i want to use ~100 gb for OSX, but like i said i have no idea where to start, so any help would be appreciated.

albino’s right, i see that same program installed on our macs at work. you can also add separators through the dock settings in case you didn’t know.

that trash can icon is accurate too. it’s the same icon i have on my tiger build.

That is a dock modification program dude, I see it all the time, and it doesn’t mean this is a fake at all………….

Sorry, but this is fake. It looks real, but really is just a bunch of interface mods applied over windows XP. For instance, the real mac dock only has one separator line, not many like in the pic. Also, there is no preference pane like the one in the bottom row. Also, the trash can icon is not at all like the one in the real mac os. Nice fake, though. Great job getting people’s hopes up over nothing.

Hey that’s pretty sweet overall. The 2133 and the new HP Minis are definitely some of the nicer netbooks out there due to their full size keyboards (not to mention the 2133’s metal case).

Robert Ja Basilio Jr: Mac doesn’t plan to make one of their own subnotebooks because Mac is a model of computer, not a company. APPLE, the company behind the Macintosh, has stated that they don’t think the netbook market is viable for their business model, and I agree. Netbooks are all about cheap, high-volume, low-margin sales, and that has never been Apple’s interest.

(referring to the manufacturer as “Mac” is like referring to Toyota as RAV4 or Camry.)

Awesome!

I tried myself to install Leopard on my Mini but failed on many attempts. I just can not get the DVD image I got to boot “Darwin”.

Can anyone point me to the right direction in finding how to install Leopard on the 2133. I got it running on my P4 Desktop w/o problems.

Thanks in advanced!

Makes me want to go and get a Mini Note. When does Mac plan to make one of their very own subnotebooks?
