Netflix Watch it Now has been available for months now. It works great. I don't think Netflix is looking for another way to get video on PC's...they've already done that (Watch it Now). I don't ever use it unless I'm traveling though as I really want to watch movies on my TV.
I really do hope Microsoft and Netflix work out a way to stream watch it now videos to Xbox 360...or even better yet it would be great if Netflix Watch it now was integrated into Xbox Live and worked natively right from the box with no PC interaction at all.
And what is taking so long for MS to announce Zune interoperability with 360 video content??? I will buy one when they do.
I also think netflix's streaming movies work great. I wrote this off as yet another POS that wouldnt work and was shocked when i hooked my laptop up to my TV and got a halfway decent picture with no buffering issues. I only have s-video out, so picture isnt as good as a progressive scan DVD, but its fine and great in a pinch. Some minor nitpicking on the details and controls, but my only real complaint is "bring on more selection!"
