How do you use your iChat .Mac on windows?

[yoyo5280]

My dad is thinking about getting the .Mac family pack for our family. We are thinking it will be easier to communicate with each other around the world. Only problem is, he has a stupid company Dell. How can he use windows XP and still be able to chat with us mac users? We would preferably like to also have video and audio.

Skype does cross platform audio & video.

works very well. To do an AV (audio video) chat you will need a faster connection. Audio on its own works very well on slower connections.

Yes.. Just enter the full .Mac user name and it should work.
