So there is no such a platform as Mac anymore.

Incorrect - Although apple does not make the components, it's hardware is specked, chosen, tested and assembled to get the most out of the Apple OS.
Case in point: While we regularly work on and have to replace parts and towers in our call center, mostly Dell, call center environment at NETbilling, the Macs that we have run perfectly, year after year. I still have a G4 300 (12 years old now I think) being used pin my office as a media center and transaction monitor and has never even been worked on and maybe rebooted 10x.
Another example. One of the large middle schools here in my city recently (last school year) switched their servers and office/classroom computers to Macs and have reduced their IT staff from 3 to one full time tech. That says alot right there.
Apple is doing something right.
