Works in Windows 8. Has basic functions. Volume, Mute, Arrow Keys, Play, Pause, Record, & Information in Cyber Link 10, or any Coral Win DVD. No Eject button. Supports Blue Ray basic functions. Can't get hot keys to work yet. Wonder if there is a...

No Hot Keys in Windows 8 yet on remote. Would like ITunes to start when I press music key

Installed automatically on Vista. Works great for every media playback program, even Silverlight-Netflix. Works especially well with iTunes

Works very well and doesn't require line of sight. I can put the USB dongle on the back of my PC instead of making the front look ugly like with IR remotes

Not really a con as this is WINDOWS fault, but without an IR blaster, you can't setup your tv tuner properly to use the better inputs on the TV card. Again, not the remotes fault, maybe this will help someone not buy this for that reason

Simple layout--a good balance between spartan presenter remote and NASA launch center

Very poor range and inconsistent response. Also had same experience another reviewer had: first unit died for no apparent reason within a month

if using for windows xp, see other posts. not a bad product

Doesn't work with Windows 7. It would be a lot cooler if it did

Easy to install. Plug and play on Windows 7 64 bit and operates flawlessly in Windows Media Center

I've owned this remote for about 6 months. a few weeks ago It just quit working. I replaced batteries and followed the pairing instructions with no success. I'm now having to look for a new remote. Also the printing on the buttons tends to wear off...

Excellent range, easy setup, works well, does windows 7 with no problems

markings on the buttons wear off quickly, though this is true of all this style of remote

play and pause, fast scan forward and back

not at all capable of navigating well inside Itunes to make a selection (or of XP or Vista either)

Works perfectly with Vista Media Center for my needs. No delay when navigating media center. Plug and Play install. Wireless RF (works from anywhere). No interference with my other RF devices or wireless network

None for me. I highly recommend this for a living room htpc setup for media center - though don't think it would be ideal for non-media center navigation

Already has button presets included for many apps like Winamp. Different programs trigger different key maps for the buttons on the remote. Can easily be programmed to use VLC

One or two more buttons would be nice. Doesn't include presets for VLC media play, but they are easy to
