Apparently it depends on Microsoft's Silverlight, which isn't available for Linux.

Oh, well. I'm not going to run Windows just so I can watch movies.

Given the corporate tendency to attack our privacy, we should be thinking about open-source solutions for *all* multimedia. Including flash.

What we need is for Netflix/MS to release the specs and we build a client. Failing that, perhaps Netflix could use open source standards and work with the Linux community to build an alternate standard for 'nix customers.

Also, we should address streaming TV. I don't even own a TV any more but I would pay a subscription to watch some interesting channels .... like the History Channel, NatGeo, some premium channels (Spartacus), et. al..
