Of course Mac freaks are going to be all over this because they have never been able to this before. And sure it's cute and all, but I agree with #3. Microsoft has long been doing this with Media Center. I've been using my Xbox 360 to stream all sorts of good stuff from Windows Vista (pre-release of course). Plus with that $300 or $400 you spent on a Xbox 360, you get to play kick-ass games on top of the Media Center capabilities.
I also think #4 comment is flawed about the next-gen DVDs. Apple is only getting 480p movies from these studios not 1080p. So...we still need HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. There's no way in hell that any of the studios are ready to let 1080p movies be downloaded to people's computers.
