Yes for Windows/Firefox. Polycom not bad. Required typing an IP address, 
but if there are only a limited number of favorites they can be put into 
the address book.

No.

Seemed a bit choppier. Clients connecting with consumer-market-type 
products need to mute their mikes quickly after connecting. If not, it 
is disruptive.

Not as good, but not useless either.

Polycom: no
Windows/Firefox: yes

Seeing a remote desktop with Polycom seems to be a no-go. Recall we did 
this before with the Polycom only with SeeVogh (bringing in another 
system) and then with not-great resolution. Good desktop sharing before 
required ReadyTalk, which also required firing up a separate system and 
ReadyTalk did not enjoy universal participation.

The big question here is whether remote people can actually read the 
slides or is it only good for seeing "which slide are we on" and a local 
image is needed to read content. Could not judge this from the sharer 
point of view.

I think the computer sharing definitely worked for those that had it. 
Recall that Kei ask me to flip his slides when I fell asleep at the wheel.

See Polycom comment above.
