Ive always used XBMC because it just works and its got the android remote doodad, ive never tried WMC, or plex, or anything else. Are there any advantages to them? A lot of this stuff seems to use XBMC at the core anyways.

Plex is the way to go if your Apple allegiance oath requires you to be snooty towards XBMC.
Plex works just as well on a Windows (or Linux) PC. If streaming to a Roku, it's your best choice, IMO.
I don't think XBMC and Plex as a choice of either-or as they are targeted to two completely different usages.
It's possible to get WMC to play MKV's but I have also had issues. For anything that doesn't play nice with WMC, just have MB open it in an external player.I had too hard of a time trying to get MKVs to work in WMC, so I just stuck with XBMC.

why is it so hard in WMC? all you need to do to get it to play in WMP is install haali - is that not sufficient for WMC?
