[gNewSense-users] Netflix Instant online movies

[Patrick]

Here's what Netflix says are system requirements:


       Watching instantly on your computer

Our apologies — instant watching is not supported for your operating 
system.

Note that your current Internet browser is fully compatible with adding 
titles to the Instant Queue for later watching on compatible devices.


       Complete System Requirements

To watch instantly, you'll need a computer that meets the following 
minimum requirements:

   * Windows
         o Windows XP with Service Pack 2, or Vista
         o Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher; or Firefox 2 or higher
         o 1.2 GHz processor
         o 512 MB RAM
   * Mac
         o An Intel-based Mac with OS 10.4.8 or later
         o Safari 3 or higher; or Firefox 2 or higher
         o 1 GB RAM

Me, again. Do I need to buy Windows XP in order to use one of the 
several ways to watch Netflix on my sNewSense computer? I read about a 
Mac emulator being able to get around the MS obstacle, but I don't know 
what an emulator is, and if I'd still have to buy the Mac OS. This 
computer was given to me, and it had Windows XP on it. I've formatted 
the hd to get the microtrash off it, but now that it's gone, I could use 
it for Netflix instant play. But I don't have the CD. Anybody got a 
solution? I'm a technodope.
