Available only on computers that run Windows XP and Vista

"Its instant viewing feature, available only on computers that run the Windows XP and Vista operating systems, plays back DVD-quality digital files almost instantly after subscribers install special software from the Netflix site, a process that takes about 20 seconds."

Well the XP or Vista requirement does cut down the number to about 75% of all home computer users initially. »www.w3schools.com/browsers/brows···tats.asp

But Netflix does claim they will support any device with any browser over time.

Re: Available only on computers that run Windows XP and Vista

In addition, how about using SlingCatcher (from SlingMedia, ie SlingBox) to route the Video and Audio to any TV, DVR, or recordable DVD.

In fact the SlingCatcher has a Hard Drive add-on to capture video and audio, and it supports HDMI and the other three video connection types, and analog and digital audio.

The SlingCatcher also has the capability to download video/audio directly from the Web and will cost less than $200.

Ummm make it to 94-95% and you're close to reality.

Apart from the fact that it's ONE particular browser stats - noone knows from where -, what does it have to do with OS stats?

Once again you're not making sense...

TBH I don't see why wouldn't... OTOH if Windows is supported then they pretty much covered ~95% of the computers of the world (sans irrelevant ones like servers etc).

How about reading down the page at that link where it shows the OS info:
OS Platform Statistics

Windows XP is the most popular operating system:

2006 WinXP W2000 Win98 WinNT W2003 Linux Mac
November 74.9% 8.0% 1.0% 0.4% 1.8% 3.3% 3.5%
And once again you show that you can not reply to any post without making a personal attack.

I'm still failed to see what a single never-heard stat has to do with the reality on desktops.

Once again you just proved you are way too clueless to even remotely be able to follow such difficult points like Windows 2003 is hardly a favored desktop OS in literally any target audience, let alone NT4.0 opr anything.

All you did so far is this: pulled out some numbers from your bottom part and waving it, without even barely interpreting them.
