Not exactly like OS X, I hope - I used to have a Powerbook running 10.2, and there was no way I could persuade VLC to play a DVD from another region. There was no RPC1 patch for my drive yet.
It seems like Apple decided to disallow raw access to the DVD drive.. on Linux, libdvdcss happily decodes DVDs with a scant few seconds' worth of delay.

Well, don't get me wrong, I don't like OS X. I'm just looking at it hard to make Linux more usable. I've used OS X before for a week before getting it off and getting some form of Linux on my iBook (yellowdog, debian).
So yeah, I'm only comparing stuff because I'd want Linux to become better. Really.
