The Hackintosh might not be long for this world if recent murmurings turn out to be accurate, with Apple almost accidentally putting the final nail in its coffin by removing support for something as innocuous as a wireless card.

We've had a relatively good spell of late, but this latest news just drives home a point that some might have already been pondering — it's time to let the Hackintosh go.

To understand why that time has come it's important to remember why the Hackintosh became so popular for some and add the context of Apple's latest Macs — its best Macs ever — and the transition to its own in-house silicon with the M-series chips. Mac users have never had it so good.
