Windows: If you were jazzed by the free utility we mentioned recently that plugs Boxee into Windows 7 Media Center, then you'll love that there's a similar utility for XMBC. It a lickety-split way to flip back and between XBMC and WMC.
Once installed, the utility resides in the main menu of Windows Media Center. One click fires it up, closes WMC down, and opens XBMC at the same time. When you're done, hit escape to shut XBMC and return to Windows Media Center.
The app gives users a super-easy way to switch back and forth between XMBC and WMC with a remote, instead of having to mouse around a computer screen. It's especially handy if you've got your computer hooked up to your TV or a larger monitor across the room.
XBMC Integration 1.0 was created by the same folks that came up with the Hulu and Boxee utilities for Windows Media Center. Between the three of them, you've got a pretty awesome trinity of tools to turn the native Windows media app into a powerhouse for watching TV, movies, and more.
Thanks, Hector!
