XBMC 'Atlantis' Beta 1 Released, Now Cross-Platform

Posted by timothy on from the let-a-thousand-flowers-bloom dept.

An anonymous reader writes with a welcome followup to last year's promise of XBMC being made available for Linux: "The first cross-platform Beta version[s] of XBMC Media Center for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and Xbox have now been released in preparation for an upcoming stable release, code named 'Atlantis.'" Now, though, there are binaries available for download through the XBMC Media Center site, though only for the non-Xbox versions.

    Headline:

    XBMC 'Atlantis' Beta 1 Released, Now Cross-Platform

    First line:

    last year's promise of XMBC

    Then later:

    XBMC Media Center

    And finally:

    through the XMBC Media Center site

    I guess someone was so excited about the product that they couldn't take the time to ensure they spelled it consistently.

    it's not like the makers of any other tool get a say in how you use it or what you do with the product you produce with it.

    Tell that to anybody producing a GPL-licensed library.
