Netflix rubs salt in the wound of Mac users?

bradchoate has taken issue with Netflix's recent oversight where he believed they use a black MacBook to promote their watch it now. As we all know, watch it now will not run on a Mac unless you are running Windows on it. But Jeremy from Netflix, the designer of the ad, was quick to point out that it is not a Macbook in the image, but a generic laptop created in a 3D application. Jeremy also shed some light on the "no mac" policy of Netflix.

Lack of Mac support is not due to technical reasons... it's strictly the studios refusal to license any content not protected buy MS DRM. Netflix has been fighting that setback for a long time, and continues to do so.
