I am not whining, I am suggesting the market is being interfered with.
I honestly hope for a local application so that wine can have a chance to run it. Otherwise we will probably be stuck doing what we do now, run windows Firefox in wine.
Moonlight is not silverlight. It is many version behind, it is not stable nor quick and it lacks any and all DRM functions. As far as I know no big commercial silverlight sites have ever worked in moonlight.
Have problems with it? It does not run at all. That is the problem with it. Had someone else not in the Desktop monopoly market created it, it might have actually been ported. Instead the OSX version lags far behind and everyone else gets nothing. Moonlight does not work, nor is anyone that excited about dealing with Icaza's MS dick sucking.
I believe Windows has some sort of DRM protected content path mumbo jumbo. Not sure how the heck it protects itself from a fake video driver, but I am sure they have something.
I think that says more about our culture than it does about NASA or manned space missions. NASA should be doing just that, but cannot just to keep the idiots happy.

Brake is in the middle. The clutch is on the left. Otherwise you were sold an inferior vehicle.
And yet still no support for desktop linux.
The Roku has hardware DRM and the android clients use the NDK so the software will only run on ARM very well.
Not all defects can be fixed that way.
Does lasik still have the halos around lights issue it had last I looked at it?
To let them shed the cost of running silverlight, it does.

That seems like an OS I would want to avoid.
Your trying to play a blu-ray, your PC is owned by the MPAA so no go for you.
How does that protect against loading an unsigned driver? Or does the protected path stuff shutdown in that event?
I have seen some malware on Windows 7 that used a driver, so there must be someway to get non-approved drivers into the OS.
I doubt the difficulty or the scope is the problem.
They have had years to make it work.
Why in the hell would I ever buy a GPU like that?
That is even worse than a binary driver. That is hardware with DMA that I do not control.
Which means Windows and OSX.
They will not make a linux or BSD plugin, had they wanted to stream to those platforms it would have already happened.

At least flash is supported on more platforms.
The simple answer is just make a native netflix application. The web browser is not needed.

All the time.
The people buying it are not the ones implementing it.
Because no commercial software supports BSD?
Hell, for a laugh one time try to explain to a vendor you want to chroot their commercial product.
Those kinds of shit software are why we having all these workarounds.
Are they the ones who blow up all those abortion clinics?
Hey, don't leave out the rednecks. They were in the lead until recently.
I mean they won't care about updating their licenses or anything the GP wanted. They don't want him to be able to give his media to his children.
How so?
You really think they will somehow find out and sue me?
Yes, they are wonderful roasted and fried.
The eggs are pretty decent too.
Go have some peking duck and get back to me.
So to keep idiots happy we should send men up? That is what you are saying.
I weep for humanity.

X-wing and Tie Fighter should run fine in DOSBox. That runs on Linux just fine.
I don't think these companies care, nor will they ever.
Why not rip the games and give the kids a link to scummvm?
