*UPDATED*
 
Question about quick user switching, can anyone tell if you can:

A - turn off the 3d cube thing
B - have the same user logged in multiple times

I'm thinking this could be used for virtual desktops assuming you can do A and B (esp B).
 
"I saved the best for last".... iChat becomes iChat AV... "Video conferencing for the rest of us." Text, audio, video chat, zero setup or configuration. Plug in a camera, it works. No phone numbers or IP addresses. Location independent. Works with any FireWire camera, built in or USB microphones, or camcorder. He says you can use voice over 56k modem.
 
Salas: ichat AV works with any firewire cable
Salas: *firewire camera
Salas: 'really amazing'
Salas: 56k modem is all you need for audio chat
Salas: free long distance calls over the internet
Salas: 'great for broadband'
Salas: Video conferencing
Salas: for the rest of us
Salas: JOBS DEMOING ICHAT AV
Salas: buddy list; pick name; click camera; i see preview right here;
Salas: phil shows up
Salas: phil and steve talking over ichat
Salas: you can make it full screen
Salas: 'we've been using this at apple over a month now'
Salas: 'i call phil up @ 11 o clock at night"
Salas: "to talk over ichat AV"
Salas: crowd laughs
Salas: crowd claps
 
A- Not sure
B - Not sure what u mean by multiple times. It's like the old way, but you had to log out, this just flips the screen to their desktop and they go to work. If they need to login, enter the pass to get to this desktop. There is an icon in the menu bar with a list of users amd you toggle. iChat looks good.
