How many linux users don't have a box (ps3, wii, etc, etc) that DOES have Netflix on it and is conveniently already connected to a TV? Netflix's lack of Linux

How many linux users don't have a box (ps3, wii, etc, etc) that DOES have Netflix on it and is conveniently already connected to a TV? Netflix's lack of Linux support, and choice of Silverlight, has always confused me but personally it's everywhere else I actually want it anyways.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoThis. Old joke, "Netflix works GREAT on Linux, get a Roku box." So "Netflix on Linux" is really 'NetFlix on a Linux running on a Laptop.' But here is the reality, if you make a list ordered by how many people would benefit of things you could put a Netflix client on, "Linux based laptops" would be nearly the bottom of the list, right above the Chumby. But if you made a list of "things we could do to irritate skittish big-content types" putting out a Netflix client on a Linux based system would be at near top of the list. That is a killer combination that I doubt will be dealt with soon.
- czervik 14y agoThe only time I really want Netflix on Linux is when traveling. Sure, I can watch a movie on my tablet, but I'd prefer to do so on my laptop.
