The Dell Mini 10v (but apparently not the Mini 10) is among those  
netbooks which are specifically supported by the OSx86  
NetbookBookMaker application, for installing MacOS X Leopard (10.5.x)  
or Snow Leopard (10.6.x) on Mini's hard drive.

I have used the application to install 10.6 on an OCZ Neutrino (not  
one of those which are specifically supported, but one which is well  
supported using the application's "General" support; perhaps the  
"General" support would work for a Mini 10, too).

Being a 100 percent Mac shop, I was very pleased to have a one-click  
application to install MacOS on my Neutrino netbook. The previous  
method was not particularly difficult, but it did require some system  
knowledge.

The performance of such a system (10.5/10.6 on a Intel Atom-based  
netbook) is quite reasonable.

Even Silverlight (used for Netflix "Watch Instantly") works well,  
both wired and wireless.

The other MacOS applications work well, too.
