Like most businesses today, Apple uses multiple hardware platforms.

The page at

        < http://support.info.apple.com/support/stats.html >
says:
        AppleCare's Support site serves tens of millions of web pages
        per month on Mac OS based web servers and millions of Apple
        software updates totalling over 3 terabytes per month from
        unix based ftp web servers.

I don't know to which particular web site Denys is referring.
If he's talking about the Apple Store (buying a Mac, Denys? ;)
they use WebObjects which, as it happens, does not run on the Mac OS,
but it does run on Solaris (plus NT and HP-UX).  Perhaps this is where
he was looking.
