I’m going to admit right off the bat that (A) I don’t use Netflix, and (B) the only thing I know about computers is that I’m pretty sure my laptop is a magical typewriter from the future that somehow lets me watch episodes of Terminator whenever I don’t feel like working. (Thanks, magical future typewriter!)
That said, big news for Netflix users who have Macs:
LOS GATOS, Calif., October 27, 2008–Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX), the world’s largest online movie rental service, today announced it has begun the deployment of Microsoft Silverlight to enhance the instant watching component of the Netflix service and to allow subscribers for the first time to watch movies and TV episodes instantly on their Intel-based Apple Macintosh computers. The deployment, which will initially touch a small percentage of new Netflix subscribers, is the first step in an anticipated roll-out of the new platform to all Netflix subscribers by the end of the year.
