Posted on the 16 February 2013 by Geekybrains @sreekanth_br
I don't know how I have missed this software till last month..(some times we will stick to old softwares as we used to them.....!!) 
XBMC will turn your computer into a stunning media center. It is free and open source software available on Linux, Windows, Mac, iOS, android (....almost on every platform)
turn on XMBC and it will go full screen mode to show weather,music,videos,TV shows, RSS feeds from your favorite website.With some plug-ins you can browse the web also.You can see the details of your computer like hardware details,network details etc.
See this video to get an idea about XBMC

I am using this on my Linux Mint OS. I feel that this is a best answer to Windows Media Center available on  Windows OS. As an open source project XBMC is getting a lot of support from volunteers who always try to make this more beautiful.
There are beautiful skins(themes!!) available to download for different look.
Try this awesome Open source software for free here
Actually this works as a Desktop Environment for Linux systems. That means you can directly run this media center software without logging into your OS too. Try this If you want to turn your Laptop into a Party music device :)
