Is it possible to run virtual PC and connect an iSight for use in msn messenger? I want an isight but all my friends are MSN users so iChat is relativley useless.

So can i use a combination of iSight, virtual PC and msn? or is there another way of doing it?

Thanks.

When I asked this question on another board, I was given a prompt "no way Jose" and a "evangelize those PC users instead"

yes you can, and i have. but msn for mac is pathetic. it offer not even a fraction of the features of msn for windows. it's at least 2 complete versions/revisions behind. there has been much discussion about how frustrating this difference is
