Yeah...VM is not ideal for graphic intensive tasks like streaming video. I had the same dilemma until I got a TV with Netflix built in. If you want to stay open source and not surrender your money to M$ for one specific task, then you might look into something like a Boxee Box or Roku. They are build on Linux, can potentially cost less (base Roku model is $60), and offer a lot of cool features. It sucks that you can get Netflix on a machine running a Linux kernel, but not in a mainstream distro, but as mentioned previously, it comes down to DRM. I don't buy the market-share argument. There's now way you can say that they are more people with these linux-based devices than self-installed distros.
