Miro 2.0 Launches Today
soDean writes "Miro just launched their 2.0 release today. The free and open source HD video player and Internet TV features an all-new interface and an entirely rewritten UI engine, plus tons of new features and improvements — it's less of a collection of new stuff and more of a rethinking of the whole experience. You can download Miro 2.0 here for Linux, Mac, and Windows. Miro is developed by the Participatory Culture Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, hell-bent on making Internet video more open and decentralized, along with a dedicated community of users, volunteers, translators, testers, and coders."
MacOS is (and always has been) the name of the operating system Apple uses, it is the Macintosh Operating System. The current version is 10, which came after version 9, which came after version 8. In a marketing spiff, they often write the "10" as a roman numeral "X", but if you look in the code and such, it is 10. The subversions follow the "10", such as "10.1", "10.2", etc. It is also pronounced "Mac Oh Ess Ten" not "Mac Oh Ess Ekess".
Don't be sceptical about the "MS" in "MS-Windows". "Windows" are things that let light in, in a building or car. Or they are generic representations of program input/output areas on any computer screen. "MS-Windows" or "Microsoft Windows" is the name of their OS (and always has been).
"Ubuntu" is just one Linux distro. The software runs on Linux, not just Ubuntu.
