Netmeeting is used extensively here at work.  Although more for
it's Application sharing abilities rather than it's voice/chat
capabilities.  Oddly, it's the one app that's preventing me from
switching over.  I think they looked at gnomemeeting, but was
dropped since it didn't have application sharing.

Just some data points.  I'm not falling on one or the other.

(BTW per application sharing is really needed in Linux space..)
