    Microsoft is in the process of preparing the rollout of Windows Live LifeCams, their new High Definition set of webcams. This series of web cameras will feature high definition still shots on all models and high definition video on some. They will also include a common interface for their software, dubbed the "LifeCam Dashboard.

    until ISP's unlock our upload speeds without charging the earth for a business line we will be doomed to about 30kbs video conferencing,dsl 2 promises 1.4mbps upload which will improve the situation,but thats still far short of the 8-10mbs upload speed required for streaming hd video :(
