netflix

[Eugene Cormier]

Ray, I love netflix (I use it on my PS3 everyday) and have exhausted 
just about every possiblity of getting it to run "in" linux.....it just 
won't work....I have tried every configuration with 
wine+silverlight+activex, firefox+moonlight etc....

The only way to currently run it on linux is to install windows in an 
emulator (like VirtualBox) which is not a pretty solution....right now 
it's not a matter of Linux being able to support it....the Netflix 
developers cannot legally (because of DRM) or will not support Linux

see the following link:

Cheers
Eugene
