Happy Holidays all.....

I'm curious to know if any of you who do Netflix and stream most of your content have found a work-around for the M$/Silverlight requirement.  I know that Netflix requires Mac or Microsoft and doesn't like Chrome in the least little bit.  I've been wondering if Netflix could be spoofed into running on a virtual machine.

Since we've moved from Internet facing machines running Windows to Fedora and Ubuntu we're "fat-n-happy" but we do want to stream Netflix but don't want Internet facing systems running M$.  Right now that sticks us with watching Netflix only on our one XP laptop or on our Blue-Ray player.  My last call to Netflix tech support ended with them saying to install O$ X or Window$.  : (

I'm sorry Dave...I'm afraid I can't do that...
