Boxee's dev is open for voting so if you're a Boxee user and want to vote for your favorite app do so before the polls close on June 22nd at 11:59pm PT.

Winners will be announced at the Boxee event in San Francisco on June 23rd .

They also plan to launch the Windows version of Boxee, announce new partnerships and share more info about the boxee beta at the event.  More info at the Boxee Blog
