Instead, we need a native solution to stream our media! Bad enough that we Linux users have to deal with a lack of Netflix (but I have ways around that one, too). Nor is running Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center through a virtual machine. Now you can always run Windows Media Player through Wine, but that's not really a solution. Microsoft doesn't like to make open source software because they believe in making a profit, instead of allowing others to innovate it. But both of these softwares are not for Linux or Mac. You have two choices in Windows: either you use file sharing with Windows Media Player, or you can just use the Windows Media Center. One of the main reasons I was held back from fully switching over to Linux was the fact that media streaming is nearly impossible.
