what about netflix? they are still using silverlight

  Let's hope this means they start moving away from it.

    Agreed. I've never watched a Netflix program on my laptop because I refuse to install Silverlight. Flash it bad enough, but, for the most part, I have to tolerate it thanks to its huge market presence. Silverlight never had that, and I certainly wasn't going to help make it.

    honestly I read this and that was instantly where my hope went. I mean, picking silverlight in the first place was a bad enough decision on netflix' part. Maybe I'm just bitter because I'm on ubuntu though.

    To what exactly? The problem is that video steaming services need to toe the line with the studios. They want DRM, so what other options are there to stream DRMed video in a browser? until studios give up on DRM, Flash and Silverlight will stick around
