We, the undersigned, are current or prospective subscribers of Netflix that would like the "Watch Now" feature available to Linux users. Linux users are part of a new trend in OS use around the world. Interoperability with Linux will be very much appreciated and beneficial to all. To remain partisan by making use of the "Watch Now" feature for Windows users and possibly Mac OS users only, is not a fair practice to your subscribers.

It is also unfair that the only supported browser is Internet Explorer. Firefox has a considerable market share and is a viable alternative for Internet Explorer users.


Thank you.

Sincerely,

Michael Paez on behalf of the Undersigned

    • Me and my family are very happy Netflix customers, and make frequent use of the "Watch Now" functionality. We have a Linux DVR using mythTV, and currently have to switch to Windows to watch it. We would really enjoy being able to integrate Netflix more seamlessly with our home entertainment center, as this would complete it.

    • Please support linux - not only is it the corner stone of many embedded platforms but also the best media center out there (MythTV) and watch instantly support would be much appreciated and needed - Linux is quickly becoming a force in the everyday user OS battleground.

    • Your (Netflix) lack of support for the Linux OS has caused me to cancel my acount as I deem it unfair that I have to pay the same as someone else while being able to use less features.
