Clint, XBMC screenshots are here
http://www.flickr.com/photos/29133065@N05/, and yes it does 
have to be
installed. It is a media center so it takes up the screen but 
can be
windowed if needed.

XBMC is a front end to FFMpeg which is usually built from 
source, but it
is commonly used in MPlayer which is the default media player 
in Linux
but it also runs on almost every platform in existence, you can 
choose
one for Windows

FWIW I like Mulders Mplayer

You can download the latest stable release of XMC which is 2.01 
here

I like the betas myself ;)
