I wish Netflix would come out with a first-party native app for the Mac platform. Silverlight never gained any traction, and if it weren't for Netflix I could get it completely off my Mac.
There's also an Arch PKGBUILD on AUR for anyone using Arch. Seems to work on my 64-bit Arch installation.<p><a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/netflix-desktop-bin/" rel="nofollow">https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/netflix-desktop-bin/</a>
Does anyone know if this will mess with my existing wine setup or install side by side? I'd like to try it but I use other wine apps and don't wanna break them.
I tried it on my kubuntu i386 netbook earlier today. The ppa installed ok and when I ran 'netflix-desktop' for the first time the wine installer downloaded and installed mono, then proceeded to install firefox. I noticed some errors but didn't look at them very carefuly.<p>I ran 'netflix-desktop' again and it said 'firefox.exe not found' at which point I gave up.

Now this is cool. I wasn't particularly impressed with the article that went around about using Netflix with Firefox in WINE but now that someone took that and applied it like this is something I can get behind.
