XBMC drops support for XBOX
,----[ Quote ]
| The XBMC developers have announced that
| they are dropping support for XBOX
| consoles. Although the popular open source
| media centre started as a program for
| modified XBOX consoles, the developers say
| that the "XBOX has hard limits for what it
| can handle" and that "it is a popular
| misconception that official XBOX
| development is still taking place by the
| team".
|
| [...]
|
| XBMC has been forked into a number of other
| programs, including, for example, Boxee and
| Plex. The latest release of XBMC is version
| 9.11 from the end of December, 2009. XBMC
| is released under the GNU General Public
| License (GPL).

Farewell XBOX
,----[ Quote ]
| XBMC (XBMP really) started as a program for
| modified XBOX consoles. In the following
| years, XBMC has grown into a multi-platform,
| multi-architecture media center that runs on
| most standard hardware. The hardware and legal
| limitations of the XBOX were always a concern
| and the Team has instead focused on running on
| the hardware that most people already have.
|
| The last official release for the XBOX by the
| XBMC team was Atlantis, over 18 months ago.
| Since then, one brave soul (Arnova) has been
| merging code from the main codebase into the
| XBOX branch in our repository. Because there
| were many users out there that took advantage
| of these updates, we had no problem with this.
