This is the competition we need! I love Netflix and this would be absolutely perfect. I think the Mac Mini is generally a bad deal but this encourages another look at it.

I have a friend who installed VMWare Fusion and Windows XP specifically to watch Netflix on his Mac. Whoops... :p
Oh well, I guess it will at least tide him over til the end of the year. It seems like more and more companies are starting to pay attention to Mac support. That's the best news. :apple:
