In the old days it was kind of clear…
- XBMC was the original and was a lovely but a little rough around the edges, maybe the kind of person you have to explain before taking him home to meet the parents.
- Boxee was XBMC’s social and flirty younger sister who wanted to settle down and become famous.
- Plex was the good younger brother who acted older than he was and went to oxford to hang around talking to hipsters.
Ok thats the way I think about it at least…
But its interesting that Boxee has started to slice of ties with the original XBMC community (too famous too fast?) and also started to making in-roads on Plex with there new cloud system called cloudee.
I stick with XBMC because I like the rough around the edges style. But I will be the first to say, I’ve got nothing against the cloud for home entertainment, just doesn’t really feature in my life right now.
