"Which two major OS platforms would those be? Last I checked, Mac OS X had at least twice the share of all *nix put together. Unless you wanna count it as another *nix. Counting is hard."

Mac OS X was lumped in with the other Unix-type OSs, so whether the person was talking about Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, etc. is irrelevant.

As for the number of installations of Mac OS X, while it may outnumber other Unix-type OSs on the desktop, there's far more installations of Linux, BSD, Unix, etc. on servers than there are Mac OS X installations on desktops and servers.
