If you don't like it, complain to Netflix, not us. So if Netflix continues to use Silverlight, then there will be no official Linux support.
Netflix has stated they will not use anything without DRM. Although there is a Linux alternative to Silverlight called Moonlight, it does not have any DRM built in and it is unlikely Moonlight will implement a DRM option. This is because they use Microsoft Silverlight plugin with DRM. Until recently there was no simple solution to watching streaming movies via Netflix (Watch Instantly) in Linux for any Linux distros besides Android based computers. See the section below 'Running with Wine'. However, running Netflix is entirely possible in Ubuntu Linux 12.04 and later releases (and most likely any other modern distribution). The instructions below are legacy instructions for running Silverlight on Linux via Wine. With Ubuntu 14.04 and Chrome 37 onwards, playing Netflix on Linux natively is now possible thanks to Encrypted Media Extensions and co-operation between Canonical and Netflix.
