Bad news for those of us waiting for the long rumored Netflix on Linux.

“There are no plans to support Netflix on Linux,” ~ Joris Evers, Director
of Corporate Communications at Netflix

I got a Roku for Christmas and have not booted into Windows on my laptop
since.

There is a petition with over twenty thousand signatures to sign for what
it's worth.

Netflix streams on Linux-based Roku, Chromebooks, and Android devices.  I
would think someone could hack it to work on a standard Linux distro.
