Hey, Hulu is on everything Netflix is on
it was even first before Netflix on Windows 8.
I have to disagree with Andrew about not reccomending upgrading to Win8 on 3 year old laptops. I have done so with several and find them to feel refreshed. Of course you dno’t have access to all the benefits Win8 has to offer but you do get the benefits of what one may refer to as the updated Win7. It is def. a worthwhile upgrade.
