I have the opposite experience, Apple hardware seems incapable of upgrading operating systems. Their policy seems to be "you want a new operating system, then buy a new piece of hardware from the store."
I've been updating a couple of Macs from 10.6 through 10.7 to 10.8 without any problems. I'm still using an old Macbook that was shipped with 10.4, it's running 10.7 now. Although that has had a couple of reinstalls.
