Digital Home Thoughts: Netflix Coming to the Mac

"As promised, you can finally use Netflix's Watch Instantly streaming video service on a Mac. The juiciest, most ironic part? The magic happens with Microsoft's Flash-wannabe Silverlight—which you probably grew to know and maybe hate during the Olympics—since it keeps the DRM voodoo intact. The only real catch is that it works exclusively on Intel-based Macs, leaving anyone on an aging PowerBook out in the cold. Full details below—it's not live yet, but it should be soon."

It has been a long time coming, but the Netflix "Watch Instantly" feature is now available for Mac users. I've been loving the "Watch Instantly" feature on my PC (watching Weeds as I write this post), so great to see it spreading out. Now, if they'd just support Firefox and Linux, I'd be good to go.
