I was able to get some partial success with ReactOS, but the movies would not play correctly. Boxee seemed to almost have a workable system but were smacked down by netflix. <br><br>And yes, it is DRM that is missing, not Silverlight. Mac and Windows have it because they are proprietary systems. <br>

Yeah I hope Netflix will bring Linux support soon. According to random<br>
past ramblings from the moonlight project, moonlight is quite capable of<br>
playing Netflix video. It's only the microsoft DRM component of<br>
silverlight it doesn't have.<br>

For kicks I have tried and failed to just install IE or Firefox with<br>
wine, then add a silverlight plugin. :)<br>
