Looking for one that will work with vista. I don't see one like the MS MCE one that works with XP.

I am finally building my HTPC and need good remote. Anyone ever used one of these?

I like the display but it really isn't necessary, and I imagine I could get by with something a lot cheaper.

Just get the XP Media Center remote from Microsoft. I've got it and it works perfectly with Vista Media Center.

I like that remote but you can always get the Silverstone VFD displays with remote that does very well with Vista and has macros for many windows apps and settings.

I personally use the 360 as a windows media center extender. It works with the arcade version and the remote is around $30.00. It also lets you put your media center pc anywhere on the home network where you can get a hookup to record stuff.
