So, what's the mapping, if any, of the Boxee downloadable application versions (e.g. 0.9.23.15885) to Boxee Box firmware versions (e.g. 1.0.2.16619)? Is it only the last number that's significant for purposes of comparison, and will they be kept in sync?

I ask because I spent some of this weekend reconstituting my old Macbook Pro into a Boxee machine. I figure if the Box doesn't overwhelm me, a little bit of hacking could make my old laptop running in clamshell mode an acceptable stopgap solution. The only wrinkle is infrared input, which is apparently a giant hassle on Macs -- I've tested out a hackish solution involving my Squeezebox receiving IR commands and forwarding them to my Mac, which seems like it might work.

Anyway, my initial tour of Boxee's functionality (it's been at least a year since I looked at it) seems promising, but I'm wondering if what I see in the Boxee app for Mac maps 1:1 to Boxee Box features. Any guidance on that?
