I was under the impression we can now play Netflix videos without using Silverlight anymore, after the new update. did I not understand correctly? Netflix is still asking me to install Silverlight. i uninstalled it after reading about the changes.

Netflix still testing the Adobe DRM module and hasn't signed off on it yet, so Silverlight will be needed until Netflix allows that module plugin to be used.

Also, Firefox keeps telling my Adobe Shockwave Player is outdated. I've updated it twice, still get the same message :/
