    Talking about a loaded topic?!  Remotes are a matter of what you want to do and personal choice.  If all you are going to do is use the Win 7 MC functions then I would recommend the Microsoft branded MC remote.  This has not been made for a few years, but if you watch ebay you can find them.  Since the are becoming rare the prices are going up, but I still manage to find them for about $10 + shipping from time to time.

    Here it is. Note the button on the top left.  That is the button to turn off your TV.  That is unique to the Microsoft original.  This remote can be programmed to turn on/off your tv and control your TV volume.

    Now here is the look alike.  Note there is no TV on/off button.  Still does all the MC functions, but you cannot program to control your TV.
