Again, just curious.

Basically, it depends on how the ACS 5/6 server end is configured. If the ebook you download uses the hardened DRM, it will not be removable. The configuration for ACS can range from forcing the hardened DRM for certain books only (ACS 6), new DRM only or old DRM.
There is a quick FAQ on Adobe's site for
Adobe Content Server and RMSDK which may do a bit better job of showing the options.
AFAIK, the OS does not matter. The ADE versions for Mac OS or Windows support the same DRM models.
Edit: Just brought up a Mac VM, installed ADE 4.5, registered it to my account and a book downloaded from Kobo and imported to calibre had the DRM removed. Ditto for the latest freebie from the University of Chicago.
