Remote for MacBook Pro

Ok guys, I want to know whether it makes sense to buy an Apple Remote or other remotes that are compatible with not just Front Row but other applications too like PowerPoint in Windows running on Parallel/Fusion or Keynote on the mac etc.

Any suggestions?

as far as i know and tested it myself, apple remote control will work on

VLC
Quicktime
Keynote
FrontRow

just also learned this a while ago if your option key on your keyboard is broken and you wanted to run the startup manager as an alternative you can use the apple remote control

restarting and holding menu on apple remote control will let you run startup manager and choose different OSes.

and probably other application...

Also check out Remote Buddy, we reviewed it in Shuffle last year I believe.
