Actually, I'd hazard a guess that a fair proportion of those MacBooks end up with Vista (or XP) installed on them. Most of those laptops will come with 2GB of RAM in them at high FSB speeds which will run Vista easily.
The truth of the matter is, the latest revision of the MacBooks and MacBook Pro's represent good hardware design at a price comparable to similar laptops from Sony et al.
I'm not particularly a fan of Apple or Microsoft, I just don't think you can tell much about the OS-related motivations from hardware sales figures.
