If I'm not mistaken, Netflix uses multiple types of DRM (for iOS, PCs, Wii, PS3, etc). The Windows DRM is for PCs and the XBOX, possible some others (Roku might use it, I think the NXP-chip uses Microsoft DRM).

This is actually the problem with Netflix on Android - Android doesn't have any DRM standard, so it's up to the hardware manufacturer to include it.

That wasn't always the case.

And even so, this is just another DRM tool that Netflix will use, unless they opt to only use Intel's built in DRM (which would be strange given the wide competition Intel's hardware DRM faces from TPMs and the like.
