Some iSight Questions

[Sobering]

Hey guys. I just have a few simple questions about the built in iSight for you today.

1. If I am using iChat AV and I see that one of my AIM buddies is online, but he is running a Windows machine, and he has a web camera, will we be able to do a video chat cross platform?

2. If I were to get aMSN (MSN for Mac that allows web cam chats) or I simply boot Windows XP on my Mac, will I be able to use that built in iSight as my primary web camera even on the Windows version of Messenger?

Thanks to whoever answers my newbie questions.

1) Yes. If they have a webcam and a mic and all then invite or get them to invite you to an a/v chat - i recently did it with a friend who's at uni a ways away, she has a dell. Now if only they could do it cross client...

2) The webcam doesn't work in bootcamp just yet. Other than that I don't have any experience with aMSN, but if aMSN supports av chats it should work fine. However, like i said, the iSight DOES NOT work in windows under boot camp

JurgenWigg, that is NOT true.

There was a BootCamp update and the iSight works fine in Windows now.

Install the latest bootcamp.
