So far mostly commercial boxes, such as the Philips Streamium and some
Linksys and D-Link boxes too.

On the software side there is libupnp released by Intel which is what most
of the products probably use. It's released under BSD and available from
Sourceforge. libupnp provides the framework a server, rendered or control
points needs and is pretty solid.

Intel also has a suite of UPnP applications that can be seen as reference
applications and debuggers, but they are only for Windows 2000/XP.
