If it seems too good to be true...

Last year I got sucked up in the hype over the E-Fix dongle to effortlessly build hackintoshes. This was after the boot drive on my main XP machine bit the dust and I didn't want to restore it because it's an old AGP/PCI motherboard that will never be HD-ready. When I got my business laptop I decided to hold off on building out a system since, as you know, motherboard and CPU technology changes at the drop of a hat, and the product was still very new. Periodically I would "check in" on the progress of E-Fix and it seemed like it was getting less stable over time and the HCL was not growing fast enough. So fast-forward to this fall. The Core i7 boards seemed really overengineered, but then they came out with the simpler P55 motherboards. That seems like a good place to jump back in. But I'll have to decide how to handle hackintoshing since I have a version 1.0 E-Fix which requires a lengthy and expensive upgrade swap. And then I read this expose.So it seems if you really want a hackintosh, you have to learn how to do it the hard way.

AS much as I enjoy the thought of creating a hackintosh, i.e. OSX at a lower cost, it just seems to troublesome over the long term. Even if you do the research and make sure your hardware will work on OSX (directly or via some kind of hack), there's no guarantee that it will be supported after then next update.
