Unfortunately it's taking a lot longer than Boxee had expected, presumably due to the fact that Silverlight (or a Silverlight lookalike) isn't available for Linux yet. @Anonymous: Actually, this article reports (correctly) that Boxee said they plan to add Netflix support for Linux “early next year…” Unfortunately it’s taking a lot longer than Boxee had expected, presumably due to the fact that Silverlight (or a Silverlight lookalike) isn’t available for Linux yet.

When it does appear it could be a game changer: no additional box to buy (if you consider the AppleTV a sunk cost already). My wife would not watch NetFlix on my iMac, this is a job for the "10 foot rule" -- the TV. I’ve got Boxee/XBMC on my AppleTV, but have not seen NetFlix in the latest version.

Note also that Netflix in Boxee only works on the Mac version so far. Netflix is not yet available in the Linux nor the Apple TV versions, and the Windows version is not available to the public at all as of yet.

Pretty much all Linux users have Firefox, but this will only support Ubuntu when it is finally released (I run Ubuntu and even I want it available on all Linux boxes). Boxee is pretty nice, but it still has the occasional quirk (I just had it fail to save some of my settings a few minutes ago for example). At this point I sure wouldn't pay for it, not without exclusive content or something. It isn't that hard to just go the sites and find the video you want. A bit of a pain if you watch a few different networks, sure, but doable. Well, it is good, but it would be better if it was Firefox instead of Boxee.

I'm not sure why the author decided to confuse the issue by talking about Roku. Boxee is not related to Roku.

Serioiusly, let us know when Netflix customers who run Linux will be able to view content in Firefox/Iecweasel/opera, or any other browser. Until then, I don't want to hear about a $99.00 box that I would have to buy. Thes is definitly a non-story! Nothing to see here, move along!
