Netflix watch instantly (http://gizmodo.com/5069026/netflix-streaming-video-finally-on-macs) is now available on Mac. What does this mean for Ubuntu?

that mac owning netflix fans are less likely to move to ubuntu for their netflix needs?

its based on silverlight. when that works fine in linux, im sure netflix or whatever will too. perhaps.

I would think wine+firefox+useragent switcher+silverlight would work

Yeah, but it doesn't at least not with a current build of wine. The page loads, the swirly things makes two loops then Firefox hangs. Soon perhaps.
