Hulu Desktop Brings Remote-Controlled Streaming to Linux (Lifehacker)Hulu Desktop Brings Remote-Controlled Streaming to Linux (Lifehacker)Posted Oct 9, 2009 22:26 UTC (Fri) by Kit (guest, #55925)In reply to: Hulu Desktop Brings Remote-Controlled Streaming to Linux (Lifehacker) by Miladinoski Parent article: Hulu Desktop Brings Remote-Controlled Streaming to Linux (Lifehacker)
From a quick look, it appears that Boxee (which is partly closed source) is really intended for a TV setup, and not a desktop... which based on my experience using /other/ software with a similar design on a desktop, I'd be surprised if it provides a very nice experience at all for keyboard+mouse users.
Also, based on the website, I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of the Hulu application was merely a container for a flash player, running the same flash code as the other versions, making it already mostly cross-platform.

Your right. I just tried it out because I like to watch Hulu, but Flash
But, no. It runs WORSE then the web-client. How they could of achieved that
And it, does indeed, look for the adobe flash plugin at startup.
