 Excellent with exception October 26, 2009

The size and picture quality isn't the best - the monitor screen reflects in specs you are wearing - but guess that cannot be helped. Get non-reflective eyewear only solution.
 Microsoft will drop their support for hardware when ever they want. October 24, 2009

Just a heads up to anyone considering buying some hardware with the Microsoft brand name. I bought a Microsoft MN-710 wireless router and network adapter a couple years back. You'd expect it to have drivers automatically install for Vista or Windows 7, right? No! There aren't any, not even for download. It's worthless and I have to replace it now and it makes me angry. I have older hardware that the companies updated their drivers, and work with Vista and Windows 7.
Buy your hardware from a hardware vendor not a software vendor. Microsoft will not care about you or your silly web cam 2-3 years from now, when you are looking for a new driver.
Functions just as expected October 21, 2009

I work for an Aviation business and we bought three of these to stay in contact with our other locations. They were a breeze to install on XP and on Vista and we love them. We use these with Skype so the quick Windows Messenger button is useless, but that's what I get for buying Microsoft. Over all I'm very satisfied with this product and I'm thinking about buying one for my home.
REMEMBER Microsoft bribes people to write good reviews about there products. Worthless time consuming piece of junk October 19, 2009

This is not "plug and play". Like ipods, zunes, and other microsoft hardware, a user has to install several software programs to get this worthless cam to work.
This required software includes:
* Windows Live Messenger. An annoying program which is a constant icon on your taskbar, and opens up whenever you start windows, and is almost impossible to uninstall.
and two other programs... it took me two hours to install all the worthless programs I dont want.
In addition, the cam base is terrible, and doesn't stand up well alone. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get the cam to hook to your modem screen.
Remember, Microsoft bribes bloggers to say good things about its company.
* A Wake-Up Call to Microsoft's PR Team, New york Times, David Pouge, January 25, 2007: "In 1998, the Los Angeles Times reported that Microsoft, during its antitrust trials, hired PR companies to flood newspapers with fake letters of support, bearing ordinary individuals' names but actually written by Microsoft PR staff."

* Free blogger laptops get mixed reaction, St. Petersburg Times, Jan 10, 2007
* Your Product, Your Customer, Forbes, May 7, 2007 "When Microsoft tried to promote its new Vista operating system, it sent laptops to influential bloggers. They were trying to control the conversation by seeding their version of the story with powerful voices online. It didn't work. Instead, it provoked a firestorm, with some claiming that Microsoft was trying to bribe bloggers."
* Influential bloggers get free computers, Vista from Microsoft, ITWorld Canada, Jan 4, 2007
All of these articles can be found under google news archives by typing these three words: Microsoft bribes bloggers
Based on its terrible track record, and how terrible this cam is, I would not be surprised at the least bit if many of the positive reviews are by Microsoft employees and PR companies.

Basic Webcam. Installed well and works fine. It is no Technacolor wiz bang gizmo. This baby is basic and that is about it. The sound is good though. Price point is good, so overall, a good product!
