I don't think that Yahoo does audio chat, and it is just a webcam broadcast that auto-refreshes. Not even 2 way! So when your PC friends tell you they've had video chat for years, laugh at them!

You can only iSight video chat with other iChat users. windows AIM does not support iSight, nor does MSN messenger or yahoo. MSN and yahoo support webcams to an extent, but iSight is a whole 'nother thing.

Thats why iSights dont really sell too well (correction: they dont sell very well to people who know what they're compatible with)

So unless you know tons of other people using iChat, the iSight is going to just collect dust perched on your monitor.

If this wasnt the case, I'd buy an iSight today...

Supposedly Apple is working with AOL to get the Windows AIM client up to spec for the transmission, but we dont really know.

I'd go ahead and get the iSight if I were you, it's a decent webcam.

well my family uses windows...so i guess i wd refrain from buying isight till it gets compatible with msn or yahoo..

yeah, my girlfriend is the only mac user i would chat with, and she lives in the same apartment building, so iSight wouldnt be all that cool...
