Plex - A Complete Media Solution. Which Media Center Is Right for You: Boxee, XBMC, and Windows Media Center Compared. @Nitesh Singh: I'd kind of like to know as well. I could easily see it being an issue with ATI being stingy with access to its drivers as they have in the past, but at the same time, I wouldn't put it past Nvidia to put down a little financial pressure to keep things one-sided. @acceptablerisk: What's up with the conspiracy theories? XMBC is open source, that pretty much excludes any financial gain from supporting only Nvidia...

@minivolt: Oh, I suspect it's much more along the lines of Nvidia being more open about access to their drivers and APIs than about anything underhanded. On projects like this it's probably not even worth their time (or in the case of XBMC, it's completely improbable) to cut out other players. But they have been known in the past to throw big money at game developers and the like to, let's say, keep Nvidia's interests in mind. @acceptablerisk: Not only openness, but nvidia seems to get b2b marketing better than ATI.
