What is the buzz about the Plex release of XBMC?
I am using a MAC and the Plex-release is a lot more stable than the normal XBMC.

On the other hand I read that it is a "FORK". I am not a native english speaker and I can`t figure out what is meant by this expression?

Is the Plex-Release bad? I mean is there spyware, etc.? Should I avoid this release?

A fork usually means a team took the code of an open source project and build an own project on top of that code, that might go in a different direction then the original project. It still has to be open source though (gpl licence) and in case of plex is unlikely to be malware/spyware or whatever.
