Is anyone running this under Wine? Hows the performance? What's your specs?

They only have a Windows and Mac port atm..but I looked at their forums and they have a 28 page thread for people wanting a Linux port..maybe they'll make one..kinda doubt it though.

^^Look for the thread titled "Linux support?" Maybe add a comment, if you think the program should be ported..more people they get the better I say.

It runs fine... http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=16733

To be exact, hulu desktop is a sham. It's basically a different looking version of their flash-based streaming technology. If you get the URL for the movie they use on your desktop you can actually view it in linux no problem (without wine).
