I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but there is also a plugin that has been made for Windows Media Center that uses Hulu.
The site is: secondrun.tv and right now it is definitely beta, but it does work and I believe would be something the "suits" would also be opposed to.
How many have thought, "With Hulu and a WMC / Boxee solution, I can cancel my cable/satalite bill"?!
I am currently one of those getting ready to put an old school antenna back up and start using those airwaves again, in conjunction with my window media center!
