Actually, since replacing Chimera with the EFI-compliant Clover boot loader, upgrades are a breeze. You can actually use Software Update to install point- and major- version releases just like on a real Mac. The downside, since a Hackintosh requires the use of unsigned kernel modules, you can't run with module signing turned on.

>Actually, since replacing Chimera with the EFI-compliant Clover boot loader, upgrades are a breeze. You can actually use Software Update to install point- and major- version releases just like on a real Mac. Perhaps for certain builds, but this has not been my experience with either the Intel NUC Haswell i5-4250U or the ThinkServer TS140. Both required significant research and tweaking to get in-line updates to work, but that could have something to do with my particular components in both cases. It's certainly nothing compared to the off-the-shelf experience of a Mac mini proper. For some, that's the point, for others that's a terrible hassle that's ultimately not worth the monetary savings.
