@(Unverified) Windows Media Center has DVR functionality, boxee not. As boxee is based on XBMC, it can play a much wider variety of video format, more social and internet video-oriented. As I don't discuss taste, it's up to you which interface you like better (I like actually both of them).
Win Media Center has a plugin to launch boxee directly and return to Media Center after you finished there. I guess best of both worlds.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.

@(Unverified) Oh yeah, for Media Center. Head over to Engadget HD and check out Ben's 7MC review: http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/27/windows-7-media-center-review/. Apart from the review, he also writes a lot of how to's on 7MC, really good stuff.
