Best Free Media Center Software. XBMC can probably be considered as the one that started it all. It is truly outstanding in this category and earns the Gizmo's Top Pick title rightfully in my eyes. Created in 2003 by a group of like minded programmers, XBMC is a non-profit project run and developed by volunteers located around the world. More than 50 software developers have contributed to XBMC which is available for Windows, Mac and Linux and in over 30 languages. XBMC turned out to be the most reliable product for me. It played all media files I fed it with, it offers convincing media library features and is highly configurable with custom skins and backdrops (wallpaper images you can select as backgrounds for different screens).

If you are a bit famiiar with XML files you can even tweak it some more from under the hood. XBMC offers good mouse support throughout the application which is not always self understanding as I learned. Maintaining your media library is simple joy with XBMC.

Most of the articles about using PHP for database applications talk about using it in conjunction with MySQL. If they really want to stretch themselves, they talk about PostgreSQL. The business world uses a different standard though, and Microsoft’s SQL Server can be found in most corporate data centers. Traditionally the installation of a Microsoft architecture meant that it was Microsoft and closed source software all the way.

If you needed to talk to a Microsoft SQL Server database, you used Microsoft development tools exclusively.
