My HTPC crashed recently and I had to redo everything.
I was a keen user of XBMC since it's inception many years ago but It is also very buggy sometimes.
I'm currently on Windows 7 Media Center with media browser and I must say it runs very well and plays everything including 45+GB Blu Ray copies.
Only thing is music - the skin does display the artwork very well.
XBMC used to stutter playing content and I ended up using VLC as an external player.
Never really tried Media Portal as I did not want to record TV.
What do you guys use on your media center's and why?
