It was fiendish in that it had a button on top that I always clicked thinking it was an on/off button, only to find it just fired up MS’s own IM program!
I could never get that MS webcam to work reliably with Yahoo IM.
Daughter Jen later reported she had great success with a Creative Live! Cam, so I bought one and it works like a charm.
Thanks! That’s a good cautionary note. Did you try getting it to work with Skype? That seems like the only OS X< ->Windows video bridge…maybe there’s other options thought.

I bought a Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 back in June for use with Yahoo IM to communicate with my family.
