"Hopefully if LiveMeeting behaves on Windows Vista..." Such confidence.

I have to admire the confidence of the UAC team. If nothing else, you could always install Sun Java on it and use the Java client if the Windows client doesn't work.

Look at it this way: It would be a successful demonstration of UAC if LiveMeeting installed and ran.

/me gets a kettle of popcorn ready

Seriously. Why even say such things on this blog? "If LiveMeeting behaves," indeed. Either the UAC team or the LiveMeeting team, or ideally both, should have tested this by now before announcing a webcast. This might demonstrate a sense of humour, but it is not the kind of message you want to send to prospective attendees.

Most of the LiveMeeting functionality is working great on Windows Vista, but sometimes when I try to share out the desktop to do demos it doesn’t work. 9 times out of 10 it woks fine, but I had trouble in my last Web cast so I just want to set expectations. But I would rather give it a shot, expecting it will work, than not try to show a demo. I don’t see any shame in pointing out things that are still not working perfectly on the beta versions.
