StayXBMC: You're right, it is a great thing to have choices. I'm sorry that you don't find XBMC as intuitive as you'd like. I didn't realize that right-clicking on just about any library link and selecting "update library" was an unintuitive way of updating a library. As far as Netflix and Amazon content goes, don't blame XBMC. Blame Netflix and Amazon for choosing to block out certain media viewers. There are a lot more software and hardware media players (including XBMC, Windows Media Center, and non-Amazon Android devices) that can't view Amazon Instant Video, not because they aren't good players, but because Amazon refuses to allow it. This isn't about XBMC not being good enough to do it. This is about content providers tightening control over which way they allow users to view their content through various methods. It's an absolutely amazing thing that we still have the ability to view Amazon and Netflix from XBMC, even if it does have to play through a web browser. Now, feel free to choose Roku or whatever you want, but don't trash XBMC over a greedy content provider's choice to block out devices and software from their service.
