I've been told that Netflix uses Silverlight, an MS only plugin (I'm not
sure if it will work with IE6). Netflix and MS are heavily committed to the
DRM, which Linux is not. So, no Netflix on Linux.

I suppose you could contact Netflix and tell them that they are losing 10%
of their potential market with this nonsense. Otherwise I, at least, haven't
heard anything else.
