<div>I'm curious how much it's actually in Netflix's hands.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I know the content providers usually require DRM for these sorts of services. In Windows, NF is leveraging the Windows Media Player for DRM license management. Under Linux they would probably have to write something that handles it themselves, which would probably mean licensing the technology from the DRM providers.</div>

<div>Linux support of Instant Streaming is probably just not a financially winning proposition. Which sucks, but there you go.</div>

Personally I find that to be very rude to other netflix customers that may be having issues with their account and just want tech support. So I agree with why not today. Your better off starting a petition If you want to show volume instead of harming netflixes customer service.<br>
