Does anyone know why they decided to make it so people couldn't switch back to Flash? It seems to me that if they lifted this ridiculous restriction, all these people pissed at Netflix would be happy.

> back to flash?

Flash never was an option.

Isn't that how streaming to PCs works if you don't opt in to Silverlight?

If not, substitute "flash" with whatever the current option is.

Nah, the "Opt In" is just for the new version of the Silverlight player.

Netflix on demand has always been silverlight based.
