Windows

XBMC for Windows runs natively on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. 1080p playback can be achieved on Windows based computers either via software decoding on the CPU if it's powerful enough, or by hardware accelerated video decoding (Vista or higher). XBMC for Windows supports several MCE remotes out-of-the-box, among others.
