What platform are you running XBMC Media Center on?

When running a dedicated HTPC, what's the difference between the Linux version and the Live version (installed to HDD) ? I'm running live from HDD, am i missing something ?

xbox untill it get ported to 360

I run XBMC on my 'revitalized' xbox and use it as my media center.

All my movies, mp3s, pictures are backed up on a NAS box wired to our home office computer and then use wireless 'N' network to the wireless bridge (for the xbox) in the basement where my home theatre set up is. I've got the HD adapter for the xbox hooked to my home entertainment system.

What lead me to xbmc was the ability to sort, play .iso images in a dummy proof format for my wife and kids. I painfully used WMC and had to either mount images with Daemon tools or use VLCplayer.

My only concern is that the xbox platform seems to be the most active but appears to be losing future development support.

Long live XBMC

I use both windows and original xbox, but the xbox gets used everyday, the windows version only when the missus is watching shite like the xfactor on TV.

There's still a lot of xbox users out there who use XBMC on a regular basis. It'd be a shame to ignore them.

XBMC for Xbox<----- me

i use xbmc on windows vista ultimate

First post, I have been using XBMC since 2002 or 2003 on my Xbox, which is now in the bedroom instead of living room because I don't think it can handle HD mkv files (could be wrong and looking it up now)
Would love to see the specs come come down a little bit so I can load it on an old laptop and use it in the living room, where my 360 +Tversity is king.

I would expect windows to be higher and just get higher as time goes on just as an effect of that os having more market share.

I'm using it on windows, but keep on meaning to try out the live cd to see what performance is like on my old laptop. Linux support for that graphics card seemed to be a bit weird in the past.. so we'll see.

running on vista ultimate for now since media playback on linux is a bit behind.
I use an ubuntu linux machine also as a media server and test environment for XBMC but that is another story.
From times to times i have thought about converting to linux since i am quite have with my linux desktop machine but for media playback linux just doesn't cut it for me yet. My main problem is support for my x-fi which in windows has spdif and DDL and DTS connect but on linux i only get analogue out. I haven't tried the HMDI out of my 4850 to see how it does under linux, anybody know if it works, does it passthrough sound and the new HD audio formats??
Anyway my point is for now if you wanna have a really good HD experience the only way to go is windows.

Hmz.. ever heard of that new fancy feature called VDPAU (which is only available on Linux) ?
