You are right that PS3MediaServer (PMS) is not only for PS3. I use that in order to stream to my Roku Soundbridge and Xbox360 (although I am not convinced this works great for audio). From what I know, it also works with selected Sony Bravias, Philips Aureas, and other connected TVs.
PMS partly implements an UPNP A/V MediaServer (it does not do everything it should, but it works most of the time). A subset of UPNP MediaServer is called DLNA server. This means that a client (UPNP A/V MediaRenderer) can get the files from the server.
As discussed in other post, this does not remotely controls other computer or device. Like the sharing in WMP 11 (I do not have Windows 7), the clients should not be able to control anything on the server.
I hope this answers all of your questions.
