For anyone wanting to use the official Sony PS3 Bluetooth BD Remote with Windows and/or MediaPortal can use my application to do it.
This is a simply plug and play application...basic buttons like volume, arrows, play pause are already setup....but you can assign any key to any button from within the application. It also supports Triple-tap for entering letters like you would on a mobile phone for instance.
Instructions for pairing the remote:
There is currently an experimental release which supports Remote Hibernation to save on battery (although this is experimental).
You can download the application here: Http://www.benbarron.com/applications. (Changelog also available)

Instructions for pairing the remote:
1. Open the Bluetooth pairing wizard for your particular machine. How you do this depends entirely on your operating system and what Bluetooth adapter you are using.
2. Put your remote into pairing mode. To do this, hold the “Enter + Start” buttons on the remote (at the same time). Continue to hold these buttons down throughout the pairing.
3. Start the search for nearby visible Bluetooth devices on your computer.
4. When shown, select the “BD Remote Control” from the list and proceed to pair this device with your computer. If prompted for a passkey, enter nothing or select “Do not need passkey” (or similar).
5. After pairing is complete and you have the option to “Finish” or close pairing, release the “Enter + Start” buttons on the remote.
6. Install and open the PS3 Remote Application and enjoy!
