The "One of the biggest hurdles to Linux adoption..." paragraph is just not true anymore. Steam for Linux is a good example of how things have changed.
It's more like Netflix is one of the few services that many people wish to use where they strangely enough have chosen to ignore Linux.
I must disagree. It's a sign things are changing, not that they have changed.
I dual boot, and while I highly prefer my linux side, there are a handful of programs which keep me in windows most of the time. Steam was one of them, Netflix is one of them.
