Your comment earlier (”Game over, Plex”) only referred to cross platform nature of Boxee. In my experience cross platform software is almost never better for an individual user. In fact, because you have to support the lowest common denominator, it’s frequently worse. I’m often wishing Firefox looked/felt more like a native Mac app, for example.

Your last comment implies that Boxee (or something else?) is better on the Mac than Plex. In what way?

As far as I can tell Plex has many more plugins, more frequent releases, better support for Harmony remotes (which is important to me). I like Plex’s UI better too, but I some of the settings are definitely still hard to find, and they’re working on that.

To your cross-platform point, aren’t there better options on all of those platforms, except Apple TV? MythTV and friends for Linux, Windows Media Center for Windows, Plex for Mac.

From where I sit it looks as though Boxee is only interesting if you A) own an AppleTV or B) haven’t done your homework.

Like the UI though.

I got my Mac Mini in February, tried both. Plex won. Beautiful interface, much easier to set up IMO.

I do plan on checking out Boxee again, though, since they added MLB and apps. We’ll see.

And Nono was talking about the Mac Mini, why would he care if you can run Boxee on all those other OSs?
