Other issues
Main issue with me is I can not stream very reliably any content these days. Broadband at home is crappy. DS3 at work barely works for streaming. All start with latest browser and Flash upgrades, video on several different computers are all choppy. IE, Firefox and Chrome ? so it is just not up to the same expectations as watching the good ol DVD/BR disk.
As for open or closed source. Really does not matter, it is a choice, is an app, either want an app to do something specific, company develops app and sells it, so what. As long as installs and works!
I do feel that anything related to the OS itself should be open source, like drivers, etc.
