We watch the occasional movie through Netflix, but we've found the stream to be unreliable. We average 10 Mbs on our Comcast connection, and we never have any lag with Hulu or other streaming services, yet, every other movie with Netflix requires 30 - 120 minute "buffer" times. The problem isn't on our end but rather with the bandwidth Netflix servers are able to send out data it seems.

Yawn. Seriously. This is a good thing long term. Apple should simply steal some ideas from Netflix. I was watching trailers on my Mac Mini connected to my HDTV via HDMI and I wanted to have a way after the trailer to "add it to my rental queue" or buy the thing. No mac support. Yawn.
