Netflix does NOT run on Linux. I've talked to them by phone and heard the schpeal...put in a plug to support Linux but doesn't sound like they'll be doing it anytime soon. Thanks Microsoft!<BR>
<BR>
My boys have the LCD panel in the living room if they want to watch Netflix (which they do all the time - that or PBS). Otherwise they drive Ubuntu like the rest of us....they are 3-1/2 and 5-1/2 years old...<BR>
<BR>
My teen has a windows machine and hates it. My wife has a pair of windows machines but only due to hardware requirements related to studio recording she does for broadcasting. Other than that it's all about Linux for her too...<BR>

This girl is 6 and wants to watch Netflix. I don't think I can run
Netflix under Linux yet. When I can, the windows crap is gone.
