Netflix is showing off a new version of their browser-based "watch now" feature at the Mix '07 conference in Las Vegas. By building the new feature with Microsoft Silverlight, Netflix has expanded the feature set, as well as building compatibility for alternate browser like Firefox, and operating systems like Mac OS X.



Basically, the program transforms your browser window into a complete movie-viewing interface with DVD-like functionality. You can:

• Fast forward and rewind
• Browse by chapter
• Double-click to make the movie play in full-screen
• Add movies to your Netflix Queue
• Rate movies
• Find similar movies through Netflix
