I was under the impression that the reason the mac's were so reliable was
1) osx is built on top of unix
2) mac controls the hardware & software so you know there are going to be no compatibility issues...
Am I wrong?

They only control what goes in their machines. Those parts all come from somewhere else, and can be purchased pretty inexpensively compared to Apple hardware prices.
You can spec out the parts exactly and build the same machine for about 1/3 the price.
Here's a company who's selling it preinstalled on their computers and have so far managed to stay in business even with Apple breathing down their necks. They have machines from $549.
