[Item Permalink] Videoconferencing on the Mac (or Linux) -- Comment()
It seems that there aren't any good tools for videoconferencing outside the Windows world. I'm thinking about equipping my PowerBook with "mobile" videoconferencing gear (a camera and perhaps a microphone/headset). But it seems that nobody offers a product to connect to Windows-based videoconferencing tools. And the same seems to apply to Linux as well. Or am I wrong?

On Windows you have Netmeeting, and H.323-based videoconferencing at least works. But are there similar tools available for Mac OS X? I don't think so. Perhaps running Virtual PC on PowerBook would work? ;-)

Dave Stutz is a free man (Doc Searls' blog): "This is a serious development. Dave has been the bearded open source community insider at Microsoft for a long time: a good and honorable man who for years did an amazing job of bridging two worlds -- commercial and noncommercial, Microsoft and everybody else."
