Just wondering... can I use iChat to do a videoconference with a Windows user? If yes, which software should the other party be using?

So fair it can't be done, maybe apple will port all there iapps or AIM will support video confrencing. But until then no you can't via ichat

Hmm... thanks for the reply. So is there another videoconferencing app on OS X I can use with a USB cam?

I believe that Yahoo messanger supports USB webcams under X...but only with other Yahoo messanger users. But, I'm pretty sure you can chat with windows users of Yahoo messanger as well.
