Advantages: Can control Media Center remotely from anywhere in a room

Disadvantages: Non really just it needs battery's but only changed them three times in two years not bad

I got a Microsoft Media Center remote about two years back and I've been using it since Windows XP Media Center and it's a great remote. You get the Remote and two AA batteries that I've only had to change three times! With an IR receiver that's USB.
This remote controls Windows Media Center and i use it just about every day when i watch TV on my PC and means I can open Windows Media Center and pick channel's from the comfort of my own bed and it did come in great use after a operation on my knee leaving me stuck in bed for weeks while recovering and it saved me a lot of Hassel and it never let me down so far in the two years I've been using it. I'm now running Windows 7 and it works great with Windows 7 Meda Center and it also worked on Windows Vista also. The remote as a Windows Media Center button that will start up Media Center for you and you can navigate with the arrow keys of the remote there are also shortcut keys like Recorded TV Guide Live TV and DVD menu. This is a very robust remote and I'm sure I'll be using this for another two years unless Microsoft comes out would an updated remote. Highly recommend

Summary: A great remote for Media Center
