FAQs
A lot of questions you may be having can be answered from the FAQs and System Requirements page. Most notable from here, is that this application is for both MAC and PC, but sorry Linux folks (if you haven't, go check out Boxee on Linux!).
As such, I felt it was appropriate to mention those here. Everything is fairly straight forward, with the nicest bit being that you do not need to have a profile setup to use it:

How is Hulu Desktop different from Hulu.com?
Hulu Desktop runs directly on your computer and does not require a web
browser. It provides an alternate way to browse and view content from
the Hulu Library.
Is the same content on Hulu.com available on Hulu Desktop?
Generally speaking the Hulu library on Hulu.com will be available
through Hulu Desktop. While our goal is to have the same content
library available on through all of our distribution channels, we work
together with our partners to determine availability of their content
on these various channels.
Do I need and account to use Hulu Desktop?
No account is required to use Hulu Desktop, just download and enjoy.
Can I access my profile and queue from Hulu Desktop?
Yes, you may login to Hulu Desktop and access your queue, history,
subscriptions, playback quality and closed captioning preferences. Your
profile details, privacy settings and friends are not accessible from
Hulu Desktop.
Which remote controls work with Hulu Desktop?
Hulu Desktop will work with Apple and Windows Media Center remotes.
Remotes that are compatible with Windows XP and Vista can be purchases
at most electronics retailers.
What devices support Hulu Desktop?
Hulu Desktop is currently only available for Mac and Windows PCs. Hulu
Desktop is not supported on Linux or on consumer electronic devices
Why does Hulu Desktop require me to install Flash?
Hulu Desktop is built on Flash, and thus requires it to be installed to
function properly. You will only be prompted to install Flash if you do
not have it on your computer, or if you have an older version.

Why do I have to update Hulu Desktop to keep using it? Why can't I continue to use an older version?
Using the latest version of Hulu Desktop will ensure that it will
always work. As we make changes over time, older versions of desktop
may not be compatible with these versions.
