You can use the Wiimote with a Mac and software called Remote Buddy. Am tempted to get a Wiimote to use as an airmouse so I can control my MacBookPro when it's at a distance hooked up to the TV - would be cool for BBC iPlayer, but dammit Channel 4OD is still Windows-only. =P I've read there's a PC Utility for getting the Wiimote working on PC, but it's more games-orientated than desktop orientated, and I'm not sure it's as good as the OSX-only Remote Buddy Application. I guess I'll just have to download it and try it. If it works, then fabulous. Although I can't actually afford a Wiimote & sensorbar atm. =P ^_^ But yeah, nice idea to have a computer that already comes with this sort of stuff.

Lol. We are already getting a few steps closer to a Minority Report like interface for PC, if this picks up more interest. All in all, I'd encourage a Wii like interface, then in time we won't all have to chain ourselves to out desks for hours.
Buy a big 1080p lcd tv, hook up your PC with wireless keyboard and mouse, and you'd be sorted. Instant Wii/PC and no more eyestrain.
