Microsoft, all of IB runs on office. It's not even up for debate. The actual computer doesn't matter as much - the Lenovo Thinkpad/Yoga is a popular one once you start FT, and should prioritize RAM/higher quality Intel chip to make models run faster. But you can do most of your work off a $300 chromebook, it's just going to be slower

You can technically run your virtual desktop through an Apple computer with an external keyboard - I have done this in a pinch but it's really not a great first option. You're better off buying a really cheap second computer to run work through if you're set on having a Mac for personal use
