Microsoft Portrait 1.06 - Downloads - CNET.com. ** "Microsoft Portrait is very low bit rate video conferencing software supporting MSN Messenger on PCs, Pocket PCs, and Handheld PCs. It runs on local area networks, dial-up networks, and even wireless networks with bandwidths as low as 9.6 kilobits/second. Microsoft Portrait delivers portraitlike black/white video which can work in bandwidths so low that full color video could never work. The portrait video is so small that it can even be transmitted through an HTTP proxy as text." [Web Voice: biztech reality checks inflicted by Olivier Travers]
