Thanks, but that is the problem: some things are made to run on Windows. Netflix is Silverlight -- Microsoft's answer to Flash with I assume DRM features to it and that is why Netflix can do business with the MPAA?
I have found ''workarounds'' in WINE iffy. Your Kernel updates then the WINE program won't work right. Since I need to have a Windows 7 running for accounting programs I use that are only ported for Win or Mac it's not really an issue other than Windows (or Mac to a lesser degree ) and its security issues.
Too much screwing around. |
