They keep getting better, but you always have the fear of one software update bricking your device because some engineer at Apple woke up on the wrong side of the bed one day and put in something in the bootloader that only works on Apple hardware.

It would work if I kept this laptop as my backup (can't stop working for a day or two while I fix all that stuff).

I said this repeatedly in a Hackintosh thread on HN last week: I have never had a point release break Hackintosh. Especially these days with bootloader kext injection, it’s really quite rare. Whole version upgrades are another story, but you shouldn’t just install those on a whim anyway.

Also, if you’re on Hackintosh, Apple isn’t touching your bootloader!
