Offhand I would say that XBMC is taking a poor approach to
cross-platform development, since the Linux version's graphics and GUI
generation are separate from the Windows version's. I would guess the
Linux-side developers are going to be playing catchup to the Windows
side. However, the Linux developers are using SDL and OpenGL, which are
cross-platform, while the Windows side seems to be using MS-only tools.
There could be an unusual kind of fork wherein all or part of the Linux
side splits off and becomes a cross-platform project that does things
right---abstracts away most OS differences by using cross-platform tools
where possible---while the Windows side reverts to Windows-only
development or hobbles along as a cross-platform project that uses the
wrong tools. What is presently the Linux side could take some
far-seeing Windows people with it and attract new ones and eventually
supplant both Windows-only and Linux-only competitors.
