Yes it does - if anything a little faster.
A few bits of advice - 1) backup everything 2)Close down all

academic question only - what does allowing a few hours do and where
does it do it?
not a mac user nor SM...
Backing up your system and then doing an in-place upgrade will take "a
few hours", same as with Windows or Linux. That is, if Linux has evolved
enough to actually do in-place upgrades. (Not that I'd do one; I always
do a clean install and then migrate my profile from the existing backup.
That takes even longer.)
If "in-place upgrade" is supposed to mean an OS upgrade like say from
OpenSuse 11.4 to 12.0 or 12.0 to 12.1, then yes, 'linux' has been able
to do that for years! OpenSuse calls it a distribution upgrade. And it
surely doesn't take a few hours!!! With a good cable internet connection
it only takes 45 min to an hour. Download the DVD and it only takes
about 15 min for the upgrade then another 15 minutes for misc packages
not on the DVD. A clean install is even faster, just backup then keep
the same /home directory! Absolutely painless!

make that "... 11.4 to 12.1 or 12.1 to 12.2 ..."

On Mavericks and Mountain Lion (OSX.8.x) You download from App store.
takes about 45 minutes on a Cable connection, then you click on install
It Restarts In Recovery Mode (use Recovery Partition) takes another
half hour. Then automatically restarts under new system. I had a Kernel
Panic cased by a Express card I had installed. Turns out Mavericks Broke
all Express card Drivers. After I unplugged my Express Card worked fine.
