Boo Hiss: No Netflix Watch Now for the Mac

Although not made by Netflix, the availablity of the cool Netflix Freak application always made Netflix seem the more Mac-like of the online movie rental services to me. In the last few days, Netflix has started rolling out their exciting "Watch Now" service to some subscribers (with service to all promised by June), which allows you to stream certain movies directly in your browser. Well, probably not you, because The Mac Observer is reporting that Netflix is not and will not support Mac users in "the short to medium term." Apparently, the service uses Microsoft DRM and thus is incompatible with the Mac (including Flip4Mac). Well I guess we can always drop back to Parallels, but I think this deserves a big Boo Hiss sent Netflix's way.
