Hi, I think it was me you're referring to. It works fine under bootcamp, there is absolutely no chance of damaging the remote under bootcamp.

I have both VMWare Fusion and Parallels, and can't get the remote to connect to activesync under either of them. It even crashed my macbook once! Just connecting it bluescreened the mac (ok, I know its not a blue screen, but I don't have another term for it!). I havent tried it in ages though. Curiously enough the SL works fine.
