Hulu on Boxee was blessed by Hulu until their content providers asked 
Hulu to drop Boxee. Boxee dropped Hulu because they want access to 
more content from the very same content providers that forced Hulu to 
drop Boxee.

It's called media politics, Boxee could have said f*** you but Boxee 
has a much bigger picture in mind so they must step carefully. XBMC 
(and others) on the other hand has a much different agenda.

What you really have to ask is, when is a browser not a browser? How 
much can you streamline before it's not a browser anymore.
