Does this have MS spyware or anything? Does it load a bunch of random files in your system that glitches/slows it down? I am afraid to put Silverlight on my WinMo phone much less my MBP.

I had no issues installing Silverlight on my Hack, but I can't watch Netflix streaming movies. it makes Firefox crash, and Safari just site there trying to load the video. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Netflix streaming is kinda a wash to me.. they have some stuff I want to watch, but I hate having to manage my InstantQ on the computer. Once they add the ability to search for movies on your settop box, then I'll definitely be much more interested.

yeah i found that as a flaw but with a laptop its not much of a problem
but my problem is that ATT's fastest connection is 1.5 Mbps/256 Kbps in my area ...

I'm getting Errorcode: 8152 (DRM Error) on my Hackintosh now that Netflix for Mac is out of beta. Works fine on my Macbook though.

It still doesn't work for me. I can install Silverlight just fine, but Firefox crashes and Safari freezes when I try to watch a movie.
