To add to the previous answer, while there are no HD-DVD (nor Blu-Ray, for that matter) drives for Apple computers just yet, Apple has already built in some HD-DVD-related capabilities into their software--the current DVD Player program bundled with Apple can indeed open HD-DVD format *files* (but can't play HD-DVD yet since, as previously said, there are no drives yet that can read them). iMovie and Final Cut can edit high definition video. And last but not least, DVD Studio Pro can actually author HD-DVD compliant disc images; since there are no HD-DVD burners yet, you can't actually create an HD-DVD, but you can burn short HD-DVD format material onto DVD-R's that will play on an HD-DVD player (but not on regular DVD players).
Oddly enough, though, word is that Apple is going to throw its hat in the Blu-Ray camp; if they know better, they will probably wind up supporting both formats.

Not yet. Apple's opitcal drivers are not HD - DVD drives. They are the normal DVD player drives. Apple has yet to release any information if they will be working with HD - DVD or Blu-Ray.
