Alfred Poor killed us in PC Magazine 04/18 issue

giving NetMeeting 3.01($0.00) from MicroSoft 4 out of 5 stars,
and CU-SeeMe Pro 4.0.1($69.00) only 3 out of 5 stars.
I wonder if the DOJ is including in their arguements that fact
that MSFT bundels NetMeeting for free; in essense trying
to stomp out yet another smaller innovator...

sorry, pcmagazine.com does not post their magazine
content for two weeks after publication, or i'd
gladly provide a link. maybe someone on yahoo will
just type the whole damn thing...

Here's are the 'concluding' sentences...
"Aside from the cost, most of the differences between the two programs come down to personal preference. For example, CU-SeeMe lets you have multiple video and audio streams open at once, so a multiparticipant meeting can have pictures and sound for all. NetMeeting supports only two participants for video and sound, unless a multipoint server (such as CU-SeeMe) hosts the meeting. NetMeeting does support multiple users for text chat, whiteboard functions, and applications sharing.
We found that in simple two-participant connections using the same cameras under the same conditions, NetMeeting produced smoother video with better quality than CU-SeeMe. Unless you definitely need to see multiple participants on the screen at once, NetMeeting has the edge."
