Huh - why would it matter which OS you use to order films from Lovefilm? It works fine from my desktop (Ubuntu).

because there online rental system only supports windows fro watching dvd's online, hulu offer a flash / adobe air system which is compatible with all os's, but this service is only available in the US

Watching online DVDs is a different problem due to DRM. Obviously, they support the majority. Haven't heard of one (but then I haven't really looked beyond the obvious ones).
