"The whitepaper briefly describes and contrasts the
features of Boxee, Elisa, Entertainer, Freevo, MediaPortal, My
Media System, MythTV, Neuros OSD, Plex, and XBMC. It also examines
seven “all in one solutions” — such as LinuxMCE
and Mythbuntu — that integrate media center applications
along with other software components including complete Linux
distributions.
"The centerpiece of the whitepaper is a highly detailed two-page
chart tabulating 60 features and characteristics of the 10 free
media center apps. The paper’s authors hope their work will
assist media center application developers in determining which
features to include in their projects, and in discovering synergies
among the existing projects."
