If you are looking to make your own media center computer and are still up in the air about which software/OS you should use, an article well worth the time to read is: Which Media Center Is Right for You: Boxee, XBMC, and Windows Media Center Compared.
While there are lots more choices out there, the ones covered by this article among the most popular. Outside of the obligatory master “yes/no” feature comparison, each OS has it’s own writeup with the respective strengths and weaknesses outlined. In addition to the article itself, the comments are rather insightful and worth looking at for anyone still undecided.
To me, it is worth it to give the Linux based systems a try first as there is minimal investment needed (other than time). For each person likes and dislikes will be differet, so as with anything find one you like and go with it.
