The Vista feature you pretty much forgot about is back: ControlThink’s got a new remote control platform for Windows Media Center and other devices called ThinkRemote that leverages Vista’s oft-touted-but-rarely used SideShow. That’s right, you can get SideShow information and gadgets anywhere in your house since the platform uses the Z-Wave flavour of wireless for communication for home automation tricks like turning lightbulbs on and off. Logitech’s big remote was supposed to do this last year, but it failed to, um, work as promised. So is this the first? Maybe.
