    Hi- Im curious as to which remote this exactly is... I can't find a link to this remote anywhere on the web..

    Does anyone have a picture of it? Is it the Microsoft remote that is sold everywhere?

    If anyone can post a picture or link to a picture of what they received when they ordered a dell pc w/ the standard MCE 2005 remote offered as an upgrade when purchasing the computer, i'd appreciate it..

    Jeff

    It's the microsoft remote. All the pics I found resembled the one, but none were exactly like what I received, although all the buttons acted the same as the labels in the pictures I found.

    Remote works great for watching DVD's in bed :D
    (Volume, pause, RR, FF...)

    I personally like the older style better then the new one.
