[ale] Netflix on Linux

[cdcoleman]

I use Novell Moonlight to meet silverlight requirements on some websites. I 
don't use Netflix so I don't know if it will work.

 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...
