Dude, Gamester you posted pretty much the same comment on your release notes. So much for using a pseudonym for your smear campaign, huh?

@Chris, no, Plex is a software fork of XBMC for Mac (look up âoesoftware forkâ on wikipedia for its meaning), XBMC is the original, they are two separate project worked by two separate development teams, some code copying between the project does take place though,(Boxee is another fork of XBMC that is also available for the Mac).

Short story is that Elan Fieldgold, who then as a member of Team-XBMC was the one who originally started porting XBMC to Mac OS X, he then decided to leave Team-XBMC (due to reasons I will not go into here) and go out on his own and start a his own new project based on XBMC for Mac. Plex was never formally named âoeOSXBMCâ, it was only referred to as OSXBMC because Elan previously had a blog on osxbmc.com in which he posted news of the progress on the porting development.

I will not go into any more details as it has already been discussed to death and you will find more if you search for âoePlexâ in our XBMC for Mac forum, please go there if you absolutely feel the need to discuss it further than this.
