I've never even used iChat on my MacBook Pro 2.33. How do you find people to talk to? Is there some listing or something to find people that use iChat? Is the video quality good. Do I need to use a microphone or is the audio good from the built-in microphone? I have a USB mic somewhere around, but I'll have to locate it.
I had downloaded some application called CamFrog, but I never bothered to activate it since I was busy doing other things.
Video and sound are excellent. There is nothing like it on Windows with the exception of Sightspeed, which also runs on Macs. Sightspeed has great video and sound but is a very ugly and clunky application that advertises paid services.
You don't need a mic. You just sit and chat. It's the next best thing to actually being in the same room with the other person. Processor, internet connection and distance can all effect the quality.
Obviously you need to convince some friends to get a Mac! In the mean time you can try: http://www.ichatters.com/
Once you get on iChat with some one give a demo to one of your Windows using friends!

iMac with iChat will do full screen video chat with 4 people playing. And it will do it with style.
