Amazon Unbox or Netflix player work?

Does anyone have reports if Amazon's Unbox video service or Netflix watch over the internet player are working? Amazon requires an app installed, not sure about Netflix I think it is all done through the browser...

"Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista--Installation of the Amazon Unbox Video Player software is required to download videos on the PC. This software runs on Windows Vista and Windows XP Service Pack 2 (including Windows Media Center Edition). Your PC must be Internet-connected, have a 1.5 Ghz or better processor, 256MB or more of memory, and a DirectX 9.0 compliant video and sound card. Complete Amazon Unbox Video Player system requirements"

Not sure about Amazon, but Netflix is a no go. It uses a later version WinMedia Player and a bunch of Digital Rights Management that all wants to talk directly to your windows OS. Since Crossover is not an emulator, there is no OS to talk to.
