Wired’s Brian X. Chen posted a video podcast to the Gadget Lab blog on December 1st that demonstrated the installation of an “illegal, hacked version” of Mac OS X Leopard onto an MSI Wind netbook.

“I start out by telling you where to download the hacked operating system software,” Chen wrote. “You’ll also need to download and install a copy of OSX86 tools. Then I walk you through the steps of how to put the OS on a USB flash drive at least 4GB to copy it onto the netbook.”

Just hours ago, Chen sent an update to his Twitter account: “Just found out Apple is suing Wired for my video tutorial on hacking netbooks to run Mac OS X. One hell of a way to start off the day.” It later turned out that Chen misunderstood the situation, and a formal complaint has not been lodged with the US court system.

Since then, copies of the video have disappeared one-by-one from the original entry at Wired’s site and from YouTube. However, a lone copy of the video remained on the video sharing website as of press time, which can be seen below.
