Wait - the Microsoft comments don't say that this will be a remote, they say that it will be an extender. That means you can stream content from the media center PC to the UMPC and watch it on the UMPC's screen, not that you can queue up music on the media center PC by pressing buttons on the UMPC. Right? So it isn't a remote control application - it's just a way to convert the UMPC into a portable media center that costs twice what other portable media centers cost. I mean, extenders have limited remote control abilities (such as the ability to set and cancel recordings for the media center PC), but calling them remote controls is a bit misleading.
