No. All remote controls shipping with new Windows Vista computers running Windows Media Center must conform to the specifications for remote controls found in the Windows Logo Program 3.0 Premium level logo and the Remote Control Specification for Windows Media Center Technologies document. Any changes to a legacy remote control unit that requires retooling for the remote must include the new round Green Start button for Windows Vista.
