I've only used in twice in the last 6 months. The 2 times were watching movies from Netflix. Netflix's watch on demand's selection (was) pitiful. The Starz movies have made it better, but still only a small fraction of DVDs can be seen online. Also there are no extras online. The quality difference does not matter to me as long as it goes fully fullscreen and does not look awful. Fox's watch on demand is beautiful. And that is DVD quality. I don't really care for HD - DVD quality is just as good. All the software on this machine was downloaded and is legal. (commercial and open source) Office I bought online, Firefox was downloaded, drivers was downloaded. Plus downloaded software is always up to date. I have a computer with a removable drive.
