Netflix launches its long-awaited web interface revamp

You won't have to wait long at all to try Netflix's long-expected (and arguably overdue) web interface overhaul -- it's rolling out over the course of the next two weeks, starting today. No matter where you are in the world, you'll get a much slicker experience that resembles what you see in the streaming video service's dedicated apps. Richer visuals are the big deal, but it should also be easier to get a sense of what a show is like before you click on it. The front end is designed from the ground up for touch, too, so you won't be left fumbling as you catch up on Orange is the New Black from your tablet. Just be sure to make sure you're using a modern browser, since the upgrade also drops support for the "small number" of people running older web software.
