Netflix Begins Testing a Mac Streaming Solution

Way back in January, Netflix promised to add Mac video streaming to its “Watch Instantly” feature before the end of 2008. Well, they’ve done it, ironically, with the help of Microsoft technology. Microsoft’s Silverlight to the rescue.

But hold onto your horses. Netflix calls this their second generation player, so it will likely cover PCs as well, and it also states that it will only roll out to a limited number of users at first. Yes, once again we consumers are beta-testing for someone.
