Uh, there's nothing stopping you from using a different application for DVD 
playback to get the same thing on Mac OS X as well. I don't know what Ubuntu 
uses by default for DVD playback, but on OS X, you can simply install VLC or 
mplayer (two of the popular apps that can play back DVDs on Linux), and set 
it up as the app to launch on DVD insertion instead of Apple's DVD player.
