Video geometry issue
The main difference with Intel macs is their srceen geometry. Mac has a Cinema display closer to the 16x9 aspect ratio than the traditional TV style 4x3 aspect.
The pixel aspect ratio remains square, but there must be some VESA/VBE emulation happening that causes stretching.
Solution
The OS should read the hardware and set a more suitable video mode to get proper geometry.
CD drive ejecting
As the Mac does not have a physical eject button like most PCs, the eject has to happen with software. This is a trivial problem to solve but requires the eject program.
