You said "...and the other half will only play on PlaysForSure portable devices and Windows computers...", which is not quite true. TiVo established a relationship with Amazon Unbox months ago, and you can now download anything from UnBox directly to a network-connected TiVo. I think this makes the UnBox/TiVo combination one of the easiest ways to 1) legally purchase online content 2) download that content and 3) watch it on your home TV with no muss, no fuss (as long as you have a broadband network connected TiVo!)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
