If I may add my $.02, I really dislike the preview window on the navigation bar. I use my laptop for watching the majority of my TV and Movies, and all of my video files are stored on a server in my home. Even with a very fast connection, every time I mouse over the navigation bar there is serious lag while it tries to load a preview from a position in the movie where it has not yet buffered. I don't think I'm alone in that almost all of the video I'm watching is stored on a server somewhere. For that reason, I think it may be worth reconsidering the preview window, or at least providing the option to disable it. You'll note that other prominent players, including QuickTime, don't include this type of feature for the same reason.
