The big wildcard here is HDCP. It does seem that ATI does not have any cards shipping with HDCP support.
There has been a lot written about Blue Ray/HD DVD support for Vista and XP, and how HDCP is going to be required to play back these formats in full resolution. I suspect that even with a Laptop this will be the case.
As for Blue Ray/HD DVD support for OSX, who knows, but knowing that Steve wants to keep the media compainies happy, I doubt playback will be any less restrictive then in Windows
