There's moonlight, which is a Silverlight alternative for linux. I just installed it for Ubuntu. Painless to install.
edit: You guys are right. Netflix doesn't work under linux. I just tried it under Ubuntu. No go. It's too bad since Silverlight does use less power and Netflix has impressed me so far.
Microsoft doesn't license their PlayReady DRM components unless it is hardware secured. The only Netflix platforms that Linux works on have PlayReady chips in them basically - Roku, and Boxee literally JUST got Netflix support.
Moonlight absolutely doesn't work in Ubuntu. And Silverlight runs like a dog in a VM, even with 2d/3d accel (and turned off since they're not 100% stable) and that's giving my VM 3 cores and 3 GB of my memory, AND it's on a separate hard drive than my host OS.
Netflix is completely worthless to Linux users. I welcome competition from Amazon.
