Nothing I hate more than programs that increment the version everytime they change one little thing.

I grant some of the version number changes for this might seem overly rash for whats changed, but 2.0 does entirely change how the program runs and is installed on system, making it more convenient and out of the way.

I would have gone with this quote from the headline:

"A new version of Connect360(info), the tool to stream your music and images from your Mac OSX to your Xbox 360 console, has been released."

Sounds interesting though, I hope something comes along with more of the ol' XBMC functionality so we can all unleash the full potential of our 360s, but that will probably have to wait until it's hacked.  Or until MS figures out a way to sell you a bunch of addons to unlock what's already possible.
