While still a work in progress, HTML5 is rapidly taking over, as it should. The
premium extensions that Microsoft and Netflix are using are a goddess example
of the way companies are working together to develop standards based solutions
for the web.
The majority of Netflix streams are delivered to TVs, via Game consoles, Roku,
Apple TV, et al. Streams to PCs were about 42% earlier this year and declining
rapidly, as mobile devices, especially iPads, are gaining share rapidly.
