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.

Silverlight is dead. Playready, not so much. But Silverlight,
definitely. Netflix have been pushing for a move to HTML5 for years now.

And apparently Silverlight is still soldiering on, even though Microsoft
was de-emphasizing its future a couple of years ago anyway, planning to move to
HTML5.
/Netflix/ uses /Silverlight/ to stream TV Episodes and Movies to
PC and Mac .
Does it get any more important than that ?!
