More poor quality "reporting" by Engadget.

are correct before they publish them to the ole interweb.

I can't imagine more people would use Chrome OS than Linux for Netflix playback. I don't understand why they would put development effort there before Linux.

Sorry, but still no. They're still using a proprietary plugin, just not Silverlight.
Unless Netflix decides to compile their CDM for RPi, Android, iOS, OSX, and Linux, don't count on this being in XBMC any time soon

Well, yes, it could be launched in the browser, but you can do that now with WINE and Firefox. I wouldn't expect much of a performance gain with this =(

Heh, yeah that happens lol. I'd love to see them do something sensible that'll let them expand to XBMC, but I don't think they've reached that level of enlightenment yet
