Boxee users without a Box on PC, Mac or Ubuntu are getting a fall update, open source release

Ever since the Boxee Box was released fans running the software on their PCs have been left by the wayside, but as we expected that changes this fall with updates for the PC, Mac and Ubuntu versions. CEO Avner Ronen announced on the official blog that while updates for the downloadable version “will most likely lag behind the versions of Boxee for devices” the company hopes to keep them more up to speed going forward. Still think you could do a better job of updating the software yourself? Done, since Boxee also plans to make an open source version available. There’s no date attached to that effort and given past experience with delayed Boxee releases we wouldn’t clear our college football watching schedule just yet, but for everyone who would rather roll their own media device there is still a future in the Boxee platform.
