Rental giant Netflix has announced that Mac users can finally use the "Watch Instantly" service on their computers, however it will only work on Macs based on Intel chips.
For now, the updated service “will initially touch a small percentage of new Netflix subscribers,” but as Apple is expected to keep Intel chips in their Macs for the future, future Mac users should be happy with the service.
The service is built on Microsoft’s Silverlight software and Mac users will have to download a Silverlight player to play Netflix's extensive streaming library.
The company did add however that about 70 percent of their subscribers with Macs have Intel chipsets.
"Watch Instantly" has been available for Windows users since early 2007.
