They may be in the business of selling hardware, but my point was (commenting on fiesta's) they don't actually manufacturer any of it."getting OS X to run on every piece of X86 would require a massive effort by Apple and third parties (drivers)"
You sort of hit the nail on the head with the obstacles that Microsoft has to go through when creating a new version of Windows. In a weird sort of way I think they deserve props on that. They have to make the OS run on a large array of systems/hardware. I'll agree this may be a large part of why OSX is a great operating system, as in a sense it's a bit like a console gaming system...in other words the operating system is specifically written to work with only a small set of pre-configured hardware setups.
