Same here.

Not sure I'd say hostile.  They seem happy to switch to HTML5 once DRM
is worked out.  Seems relatively likely in the near future.

In the meantime they support windows, OSX, chromebooks, android, roku, etc.

If you can't wait and don't want to buy a roku (I'm rather fond of
ours), I suggest amazon's prime service.  It's under $10, works on
linux, and has a fair amount of content.  Not as much as netflix though.
