If the QuickTime HD trailers are any indication, you need an iMac G5 or higher. Sure they could cut the data-rate or resolution, maybe even included dedicated decoding hardware in an update.
As it stands however, its hard seeing HD from a box that stutters at a mere single-window Exposé action.
But I guess I'm curious as to why nearly all OS focus is on UNIX or a derivative? From Linus's knock off, to Mac moving to a UNIX core to even the pretty original BeOS.
The BeOS may be POSIX compliant and use Bash as a shell but it is in no way a UNIX or a derivative. A shell was included at some point because users wanted it. The GUI was not built nor based off X11. The last publicly released version didn't even have a concept of users/groups with a mysterious entity known as Baron owning all files!
Earlier version of Mac OS inspired Jean-Louis Gassee and team to create the BeOS. Not surprising seeing as how more then a few members were ex-Apple employees.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, democracy simply doesn't work.
