We had other problems with Unyte that were related to how it is used to schedule sessions. It didn't seem to be easy, for instance, to schedule a session at a point in the future, which meant that at the last minute I had the folks in Toronto on the telephone as I dictated session ID's etc to them over the phone. The experience I was looking for was much more like the experience we used to have with Microsoft LiveMeeting, but without the concomitant costs of LiveMeeting. I don’t know Peter.

As you know we ran into some of the same issues on the day we tried it, but Leeds is interested in trying it again. An I love to see it as a regular part of the Ottawa/Toronto/Montreal DemoCamp events. I’d be interested if you thought Unyte would work for International Demo camp?

And, in most cases the sessions involved at least one Mac platform's paricipation. However, along with many other applications, it seems that Vista still presents challenges for, say, Java apps <a href="http://saunderslog.com/2007/10/26/suns-tactical-error-on-java/" rel="nofollow">as you mentioned in a recent post</a>.

Personally, my company uses PC View, but not as a desktop sharing app (where more than one person can control the "presentation" if everyone has downloaded the client) but rather a desktop presentation app integrated into our platform (in which presenters can show their desktop to viewers). My company makes this slight distinction since our tech is webcasting (not web conferencing) - the former is considered a collaborative tool, while the second is for larger audience presentations. However, this may not be clearly differentiated from an industry perspective. It seems that most desktop sharing applications require some type of download.

Sorry to hear you got stuck. We've been working hard to resolve some install issues that are occurring mostly on some versions of Vista. We're going to be release a new version with fixes to various problems that have been reported. Plus, we have reported a couple of bugs to Skype on how Skype Extras works. If you don't mind, I'd very much like to have one of our tech support guys contact you to see what the issue is. We're committed to making Yugma the easiest way to collaborate on the web, and knowing more about what you've run into will help us a lot. Thanks again, Karel Lukas Yugma www.yugma.com Hi Alec,
