Oh an another thing, XBMC/Boxee is self contained. No using DirectShow filters, no fighting with Windows usually. It's a much cleaner end user experience and runs the same on nearly every platform. Windows has more bugs, since its the newest port but in 6 months everything will be solid and based off one codebase. I can't wait! I've been doing SVN builds of XBMC for a year and a half and recently switched to OSX from Linux for my HTPC and it's perfect now. I got a $450 2ghz device that plays all my media and my roommates and friends never have to open up terminal to type in commandline sequences to bring optical audio back like they did on Linux.
