Because if it doesn't it isn't even worth looking at IMO. Only major service I come relatively close to that is dumb enough to use silver light. ~Jeff |

I keep an XP install in VB for exactly that reason. |

@ Bob +1 And I'm even considering closing my account. It's bad enough that there is no current Linux support...I've seen most of the decent movies that are stream-able...the rest are Hulu-type junk. |

Um yeah, that's why I kicked netflix to the curb and signed up for hulu plus, in appreciation for their unabashed support of linux users. Edit: I see where Roku just announced that the entire criterion movie collection will be streamable on hulu plus. I gather that means I can watch it on my linux desktop machines as well, since hulu is hulu. |

@helios I can't believe you would support them!! :P I have neglected signing up for an account for just this reason. Plus, well I don't keep any Windows in my house ;) ~Jeff |

Diane likes some of the stuff on there and as we all know...if mama is unhappy, everyone is unhappy...if Daddy is unhappy, who cares? I run XP on VB in the bedroom just to watch Hulu and Netflix before going to sleep...and fastpasstv.com if the servers are running decent that night. |

@jdixon -- Might just get really stuffy. |

I watch Netflix on the Wii.
I just find it more handy than the PC. However, I find it bizarre that there is still no official Linux client, especially since I believe there is a Linux-based media box that does deliver it (name alludes me at the moment....) Ah, yes Roku |
