Summary: LOVE IT
Comment: It is so easy to install. Now I can talk and see my family at the same time. Everyone lives in different states and it feels like they're in your home. The picture and voice are very clear. Well worth the money.
Customer Rating:
Summary: nice product for users of windows live messenger
Comment: fits snugly to the top of a flat screen desktop monitor, quality of image is acceptable. a little bulky for what it is supposed to do, but overall a fine product. recommend but only if you are willing to pay the slightly higher price mandated by microsoft.

Summary: Works well, but I'd recommend the VX-3000 model
Comment: I bought this for an older laptop in our office, and since it was Windows 2000, it didn't work (my fault for not checking). Anyway, we are now using it on a XP machine, and the camera works well. It's clear and the microphone performs well. The only issue is when adjusting, it is darn-near impossible NOT to hit that button on top (which launches Windows Live messenger, which we don't use). I've seen a buncb of other people mention the same thing. We use Skype... no issues at all with it.
So, all-in-all, I would have given a 4.5, which I can't, so since it isn't perfect, I'm giving it 4 stars.
I also have a VX-3000 model which I would purchase over this one since it's around the same price and USB 2.0. Though, to be honest, I don't notice much difference.
