   spyhero, I'm afraid I'm not clear on your statement, as I do not recall pledging to make Webcam drivers available (I definitely do not have control over who has/not access to them).  I think connect.microsoft.com is where you need to look or whom you need to contact for these.

   Hey Daniel Bobke:  to my knowledge, the Lifecam drivers are only available via the Windows Vista Technical Beta Program and they are no longer taking new applicants for testing.  But, my hope is that soon they will be made public.  I'll let you know via the blog once this happens, as you're not the only one awaiting their release.

   Just browsing to the MS Hardware Vista site and I am worried.  It is saying that software for Lifecam will only be available in January, and it is probably going to be beta.  Will we have some way to run our lifecam before that?  I have access to RTM via technet but half of my stuff aren't currently supported in one way or another.......

   Hey marshall -- I understand that drivers for the Lifecams will be made available around retail availability of Windows Vista.

   Than that's just plain bad......  Even the most complained logitech made a vista version driver for their webcams and is available now.....

   Just bad.  And I now regret throwing my logitech cam away for the lifecam, hoping that it will have vista drivers first......

   Ouch.....

   I think this is incredibly embarrassing!

   Does Microsoft think early adopters or business users do not need webcams?

   Vista has released for businesses and through rtm almost a month ago, and i am not the only IT Pro who has switched most (in my case actually all!) productive systems to windows vista, except for a dual boot partition with xp on one machine.

   I used a combination of the VX6000 and NX6000 to stay in touch with my wife and 2 year old son during extended business trips. The VX6000 attached at home to the living room PC running Windows XP Media Center Edition. The notebook running XP Pro. Now of course that I upgraded both the Media Center PC and the notebook to Windows Vista, I have not only two unusable expensive webcams, but also, which makes me even more angry, cannot communicate with my family.

   Any other Vista enthusiasts sharing my frustration?

   Hey habnix:  as I've said above, you can expect Lifecam drivers to be made available around Windows Vista's general retail availability date.

   i have been using my lifecam 6000 for quite a while now. i had video right out of the box. the only issue i had was audio. i am running vista build 5600, and creative SB audigy card. i had to go into the sound settings where i found that the lifecam sound source was already listed as: (lifecamusb20). once i set that as the sound source i was able to use lifecam video and audio. sound quality was excellent.
