Then they also have DRM free songs (from EMI, iirc) and those will work on anything.... So Microsoft has its WMA standard, which can play on Macs (with the proper free add-ons), however their DRM only plays on Windows system and I guess only on WMA DRM compatible players... so Netflix wont support Macs? Maybe they should rethink their strategy? What is interesting is that you only need iTunes to handle Apple’s DRM - so it works on PCs, Macs and iPods.

Shouldn't Netflix ask Microsoft to make it work on OSX. Or maybe Netflix needs to find a DRM solution that runs on multiple platforms including linux.
