Windows 7 gets a new Netflix interface

NetflixLogo Good news for Windows 7 users: starting today you can enjoy Netflix's streaming video library with a shiny new interface. The upgrade offers a streamlined way to navigate the "Watch Instantly" section through Windows 7's Media Center.

Unfortunately, even with the new set-up, users can't enjoy high-definition videos, nor can they set up Netflix to work with Media Center extenders (two features that place Windows 7 behind home theater-linked devices like the Roku Player and the Xbox 360). Well, still a few bugs in the system.

If you have Windows 7 and it hasn't updated automatically yet, you can manually download and install the Media Center feature yourself.
