Well it doesn't show up for me, and there is no Check for update in WMC, and I have also ran Windows Update a few times too. And its still not showing up for me. Can anybody help me?

@Khristopher, silverlight is part of the live suite, and this site is much more useful for me because it covers a wider range of Microsoft products...

What's this have to do with Windows Live?

This site is just becoming another Microsoft fanboy site.

I wish Netflix would enter the UK market, maybe buying LoveFilm.com to enter the market

Some people at the thegreenbutton.com says that Windows 7 will not be supported until it reach RTM status.

@greg, @jsyoung - Yes. Based on what I know of the architecture of Media Center, the inner workings of that group, and those official posts, it should just appear as an option. Also, comment on the official post to get your feedback heard by the team so they can learn to include such info next time.

Something only TechFlash answered so far, that includes LiveSide, is that Media Center Extenders cannot access this functionality. They propose that this could be a strategy tax to keep Xbox LIVE Gold subscribers, as you could just use the 360 as an extender and not pay for Gold otherwise.

@greg...my thoughts exactly. How are we suppose to get this as part of Windows Media?

Odd thing is neither post actually tells us how to get it. Is it just supposed to automagically appear under TV+Movies, can you get it from www.netflix.com, or do you need to hit Windows Update to get it?
