- Touche 12y agoA fallback for what, exactly? Once IE, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari support it, that's all they care about. I think they're more likely to drop old-IE than the typical webapp.

- wjoe 12y agoIE11 only works on Windows 7/8, and OS X 10.10 is only supported by Macs up to about 5 years old. Even then, a lot of people don't actually keep their OS/browsers up to date. I expect Netflix's demographics are quite broad, and probably still quite a lot of people on XP and 5+ year old computers. There's not really any reason for them to drop support for Silverlight, they'll probably just keep new features for the HTML5 player.
- eyko 12y agoCould they go with flash? I can't believe I'm asking for this, but at least that would work on Linux without much hassle (pipelight is 32bit and I don't really want to go there).
