Boxee vs. Zinc vs. Hulu

For those with a Windows PC and some time for TV, DeviceGuru writes "Which is the best Internet media streaming application for a media-center PC? Boxee, Zinc, or the new Hulu Desktop? A post at DeviceGuru.com reviews these three media streaming platforms and draws some interesting conclusions. Key pros and cons are tabulated and numerous screenshots are included. Interestingly, despite lots of Boxee hype, Zinc already has a number of valuable features that Boxee is scrambling to add to its next version, due out in the fall. On the other hand, Boxee boasts far more third-party content-access applications support."

None of them

Since stupid rights managements mean they're only usable in one country.

Fixed

"For those US residents with a Windows PC and some time for TV"

There, fixed.

As a non-US resident, Mininova is still the best bang for the buck to me.

For some it doesn't matter

For some it doesn't matter. For example, if u are on linux, then it boils down to Boxee and... Boxee. (Assuming that crappy table in "conclusions" switched OS Support columns)
If you are outside US, then again, it limits your choice.
So, this might be relevant, but only for people living in US and using Windows.

Also, there are Linux only solutions, like for example MythTV, can't say about selection of videos there thou... I guess its small.

And yet, those big corporations keep wondering how they could make those silly non-american people pay for their content.

If you think you are breaking the law watching content you record you are a victim of propaganda.
