This is huge for linux adoption. The major hurdle holding many people, including myself, back from using linux as an HTPC operating system is netflix support. This will be especially great if plugin developers can get it running through XBMC.
It works in Chrome-beta, just pipe that to XBMC and run it fullscreen?
Gotta change user-agent too, but I think that was already mentioned in the article. Html5 Netflix, been working since August.
