It works pretty well - I tried it out on the Macbook. For a while yesterday it was not letting me play any Netflix movies, saying that I had played my share (I have unlimited watch now ability, and have only ever watched one movie), but it was working fine last night. Hulu worked fine all day. I expect that this will only get better as time goes by; they are calling it version 0.5, I believe.

While Boxee already has both, for me I use FRont Row more for music than video, and Boxee's inability to play protected AACs (I still have a few) and recognize any iTunes playlists make it something that will not work for me.

Not so fast - apparently, Boxee lost Hulu today.
