    Indeed. I used Netflix 4 years ago or so for awhile (before they did streaming videos). I had thought recently about starting up my subscription again, especially when I heard about the streaming video service (when I saw Windows and Mac listed I figured it was decent). Then I read about it, found out it was Silverlight only, and dismissed my idea to use Netflix at all. I will continue to use bittorrent for my rentals. Hence, their decision to support Silverlight cost them a subscription.
