Hulu Desktop is just Flash with a bit more system integration (like the Apple remote). Why would anyone expect it to have any better video that Hulu in a browser?

My only reason for using it is that I can run it independently of my browser. Too many times I have quit Firefox on one screen, forgetting that Hulu was running in Firefox on my other screen.

According to the post, the desktop version actually played worse than the browser version.

I could understand that, but he tested it on a RC OS so his test doesn't really hold its own.

I'm a sample size of one, but Hulu Desktop works great on my machine. Same quality video, with a better interface.

works great on my mac too - no crashing

it's probably Windows 7, which isn't really fair to use since it's not even officially released yet
