The video is much better than the previous one, and there seems to be a lot of neat changes in the features as well.

I am dloading this right now. Gonna try it in a VM and see how much it intrigues me... Yes, I know, VM will not be a good measure, but still...

What do you think?

personally? i think it looks okay, but I am far more excited for the ongoing port of XBMC to Linux.

Ewww, linuxmce. I tried that once it it just all seemed... cheap. the ui looked like something from a preschool.
Maybe the new version is better?

Ah so it's a homebrew app. Though do you have to use an XBOX controller with it? And it seems (at least from youtube videos) that you can't network it (as it being the host and sending it out to others computers).

Though the menus look alot more polished.

no xbox controller necessary.
