link to the thread please.
The fact is XBMC for linux/mac/windows is not needed because you have all the other options such as VLC and firefox. But us poor xbox owners who rely on XBMC for streaming/playing media content don't want to be abandoned.
Like I said previously the xbox may be dead as a modern gaming platform (in the eyes of some) but the xbox is now the perfect (and cheap) media setup that doesn't rely on owning a PC.
XBMC is also THE best independant/functional media center. I own a PS3, a 360 and a Wii. the PS3 doesn't play half of my divx/xvid videos, the 360 is louder than concorde and the Wii requires some dodgy web based streaming (orb).
There is no way in hell I would spend £100 on a dedicated streamer when for £10 I get an xbox.
