Be did initially make BeBoxes, but BeOS later ran on off-the-shelf x86 hardware (provided it had drivers, of course, but basic graphics worked on pretty much anything of the era). BeOS R5 at least also had a TCP/IP stack, and while it wasn't highly regarded (Be was rewriting it when it went under) it more or less worked. By this argument, OS X should be a lot lighter than Windows, which it isn't.
