BD playback does not requires Vista.
However it requires matching Graphic card (must be HDCP enabled, I'm not sure minimum dedicated memory)
Processor must be at least 2.0GHz dual core

Uh oh... Uh oh!

Those 2 comments have completely scared me now. I was about to buy a macbook pro and just pick up a bluray drive thinking it would just be kind of a plu-and-play thing if you know what i mean.

If anybody can confirm this, please do.
