| This seems counter intuitive. All nflix da should require is the interfaces outer needs. Network stack
CODECS
CRYPTO stack (DRM) The OS seems irrelevant. I mean sure you worked be limited to whatever interface a browser could provide. It's not as if certification of a certain operating system means anything other than the certificate. Netflix used play4sure beck in my days at Apple, and literally t out was a tick box for them to assure the content owners they had DRM. Nobody certified apple's netflix app for ATV back then, I know, Ben Lee and I wrote it... We desperately need OS research, exokernels should be a thing by now, at least then the question becomes moot. Windows, (alphabet)OS, Linux and BSD all provide operating systems that enable productive work but there's a lot of cruft |
