Well yeah but you need your windoew to be opened and what happened if you close it by mistake… nop i prefer MSN, skype or Yahoo! messenger for that.

Well having the Voice and Video in the browser is innovative! You could also say: 'What happens if I close MSN, Skype or Yahoo by accident'. I actually tried it the other day and I could only get the voice working, although my camera worked locally. The voice was really clear in fact but my CPU usage was at 100% all the time so I couldn't do anything else.
