“Boxee alpha is astoundingly stable and smooth. In many
ways, boxee is much better than the original XBMC 9.04 RC, to be
frank. I don’t know of its just an issue with my system
configuration, XBMC crashes a lot in my system. But Boxee is just
fine.

“Features

* Boxee provides support for a wide range of multimedia formats
and includes features like playlists, stunning audio
visualisations, slideshows, and even live weather forcasting.

* An ever increasing list of third party apps is another
important but obvious charteristic of boxee, being an Open Source
application.

* Boxee can play most audio and video file formats, as well as
display images from almost all kind of sources like CD/DVD’s, flash
drives and so on. More info on feature list here in boxee.tv”
