@Pat Clark: Mediaportal is not designed for desktop pc's, but for HTPC's that are connected to a (big) television. With that in mind it's a lot easier to scroll with a remote control from your couch, than using a mouse. Are you serious using a mouse from you couch to control Mediaportal? I can't believe that that is easier than using a remote control. Even not if the skin that you're using is optimized for using a mouse.. And I really don't need to check my remote control before I press a button.. I'm almost only using the joystick on it to scroll through lists.
But everyone has their own taste!
