Most of the way ain't all of the way. Streaming a file the size of a full Blu-ray movie just isn't feasible with today's internet speeds, unless you're using the WiFi at Los Alamos or sleeping with the cable guy or something. Apple has to cut corners using software trick...
... Oh, and the new menus. They're not exclusive to the new model (you can download a software update for your old Apple TV), but boy are they dumb. Apple, clearly mimicking your iPhone's home screen, has replaced its elegant text-heavy UI with gaudy chiclet icons. They look tacky, but more unfortunately, they're hard to navigate—and some can't even be removed. I don't want to have to slide over a bunch of options I don't give a damn about just to get to Netflix—particularly not with the we-couldn't-possibly-remove-any-more-buttons-from-this remote. Apple clearly did this to make room for Roku-style channels, but in the meantime, it's a minor aesthetic and functional shin-kick.
