Netflix, in its desire to stay ahead of the pack has started offering their customers “Watch Instantly” service making 5,000 plus movies and TV show episodes available online – but only if you are PC owner. It’s a no go for anyone with a Mac. Now, I am happy that Netflix has made this cross-platform move but you would have thought, with the current technology available and the gaining marketing share of Apple, they would have put a little more effort into it and gone with an option that serves all their customers – you know – the ones that are all paying the same amount for the service – instead of creating a whole 2nd class of p—– off customers.
Now, Netflix has announced it’s desire, in a Mike Musgrove Washington Post article, to move away from their red envelopes and 100% online. I agree with Mr. Musgrove, especially after being left out of the online party already, that it’s going to be a l-o-n-g time before I give my envelopes and trust Netflix to deliver online.
