You could certainly pull off a smaller window, but as soon as someone goes full screen it wrecks it.

Would you rather have a small window at HD quality, or full screen at TV quality? We can't even stream full screen TV quality yet, so even thinking about HD is jumping the gun.
You are incorrect sir.

HD over the internet exists:

most movies are over 6mbit. My cable connection is 5mbit.. Not fast enough to stream it, but way enough for downloading.
