Hello ajfish,
The article was written about two years ago. There have been a few versions of "XBMC Control" that have been developed over the years.
The "XBMControl" shown in the article is an earlier project that I did participate in. That project was based on the .NET framework and limited itself to Windows machines. I don't think that project has been worked on for some time.
In the last two years XBMC has gone through tremendous changes and many of those screen shots in the article are not valid anymore. The default web interface has always been somewhat limited (hence the need for third party web interfaces). I suggest you move to the newest versions of XBMC (Eden Beta). This will enable you to use the newest and greatest versions of AWX and XCWP (XBMC Control Web Page).
Please note that both AWX and XCWP are going through a transition due to XBMC changing the way it communicates through its web server. In essence we are catching up to the new interface. I do think both web interfaces are caught up though some issues may still need to be resolved.
The best thing you can do is upgrade XBMC to the newest Eden Beta and try the web interfaces out and choose one to work with. If there are issues or features you would like to see then communicate with the authors through these forums. I know the authors who communicate through the forums are very responsive.
Cheers,
Kabooga
