Netflix "Watch Now" streaming support coming to Mac by year's end

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 1st 2008 at 5:57PM

Netflix didn't bother to mention this teeny, tiny snippet in its recent release confirming the deal with Starz, but we felt it was important enough to highlight. Over on the official Netflix blog, Brent made exceptionally clear that the team has been toiling away on a solution that would enable Mac users to tap into the Watch Now streaming feature. Best of all? Netflix should "have something for [us] by the end of the year." Huzzah!
