The desktop share is very nice, the folks in our Winchester office said the mouse movements were pretty smooth and they could follow what I was doing on my desktop with no problems. That rocks indeed. After testing both (admittedly not exhaustively) Yugma seems the leader for desktop sharing solely because it worked instantly. Vyew is having an issue with desktop sharing via Firefox. There is a fix, but I'm impatient. As for whiteboard and collaboration I like Vyew's offering the best. So take a look at both and maybe you'll need both! One thing to note, Yugma is Java based and Vyew is Flash based, so if your work environment has restrictions against either, then perhaps your decision is made. Cheers, Chris After Austin’s subtle urging I checked out Yugma.
