WhiteSpade writes: It seems like increased competition and wavering customer loyalty (due to the recent hike in prices) may have caused Netflix to finally listen to it's Linux users. Word has leaked that Netlix is now working on a native client for Linux. Benjamin Kerensa writes:
"The engineers from Netflix were hardcore Linux users themselves and advocates of Open Source and shared my frustration that Netflix had not made headway a lot sooner. They indicated that although work is underway it is not a priority project which is why it may take up to 12 months."
