Not to mention that Apple seems to use postgres bundled in some of
their high-end software:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1648
http://www.apple.com/finalcutserver/

If postgres had any significant trouble running on OSX, I'm confidant
Apple would love to hear about it and do something about it very quickly.
