Microsoft should seriously think about rebranding their stuff, cuz their primary brand "Microsoft" has obviously a negative impact. That Apple fanboy can't possibly know how it functions, but he sees Microsoft logo and swifly claims Apple camera functions better. At this point, its clear that Microsoft badge is to blaim.
I've been timid to purchase MS branded products since my Fingerprint Reader. The thing's been out around the time XP64 was released, maybe a bit afterwards and MS hasn't seen fit to produce a 64bit driver for Vista. I've also been burnt by the MS networking hardware...I have a router and a wifi network card, neither of which are supported by MS any longer...not that I care, though I did back when I was running XP64.
I just feel they should be a little more consistent with hardware drivers. If you build the dominant OS, how hard can it be to make a few drivers for it?
These cameras look fine...people are calling them ugly but I don't get it. After you hang it on a LCD all you're seeing is the little square part with the lens which is not ugly by any means. Also, the pricepoint is pretty good.
Even if they were branded as apple i would still be quite dissapointed, im just not liking the design. if it had good functionality i would still give it a 7/10, just for me though, the design on the casing is to "Dull, Flat, Corporate"

Still not liking the Design to much, to "Dull."
Yes call me a Fan Boy, but iSight still looks better and functions better
"Yes call me a Fan Boy, but iSight still looks better and functions better"
How do you know how these webcams function? They're not even out yet.
Conclusion: fanboy.

Ora maybe bananas are to "blaim". (Apple = company, Banana = fanboy)
Actually, as far as peripherals are concerned, the Microsoft name is pretty solid one. They still make (imho) the best general purpose mice.
better than the worst
But you can't say that's sexy
nor as iconic as those Logitech ones(Which are also ugly)
