Tried it, its... ok. Perhaps later when jingle is further worked on and incorporated this may be better, but I do not like the idea of being somehow tied to MSN for video and voice applications on linux. Also, the size limits are an issue. Not to mention the ability to connect several clients together in a group, not a one on one conversation. I dont believe any im/voip/vtc app has even come close to the collaboration application that will eventually be necessary, but maybe thats my own ridiculousness. I actually blogged about this [1], giving my overall opinion on the matter, but it was the lack of camera support out of the box that sparked my original post. Joseph M.
