Agreed, I was interested to see which of Amazon's features were particularly of use to them. As opposed to, say, Rackspace Cloud.

This talk by @adrianco may address the points you were looking for - http://www.blip.tv/file/4252897

To sum up, Netflix's strategy is to go with the best and biggest in each category, and AWS is obviously the biggest as of now.
