I discovered a PC Magazine article that does a very nice roundup of the 
remote control market:

Remote Computing Software
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,225861,00.asp

The article includes analysis and review of the major applications,
along with recommendations.  This is from 2002.

platforms found here:
