As you can see, Flash Access 2.0 allows to use HDCP protection. This protection is only available in Windows.

Output control is absolutely optional, so you never know whether Hulu and other web-sites will be using it or not.

At least you can use quality OS like Linux or Mac OS, which support flash video and where output control is not supported. On these OSes you shouldn't have problems connecting your computer to a projector or any non-HDCP display to watch Flash content. I really doubt that HD videos from Hulu will stop working on Linux and Mac OS even if Hulu will use the output control.
Interesting you should mention Linux. I'm planning on a dual-HDD for dual-boot OS (XP Pro SP 2+Linux). Either LinuxMint 7 or PCLinuxOS 2010. So are you saying I don't have to worry about getting HDCP-compliant motherboard and/or graphics card to access Internet-TV freesites? I've zero interest in HD DVDs or BluRay crap...just after watching/recording free movies & TV shows off the internet.
