Cons
Blue screen error when changing video size. I have to restart the computer. Every time I plug it in, I have to close the Lifecam updater with task manager. After I have done that, I can get a picture.

Pros
none so far
Cons
I can't even get the product to set up.keep getting an error message that set up was not complete and to rerun. Even when I open the drive and double click on the setup icon, no luck!
Summary
Well, so far the bottom line is this stinks. Brand new product and it won't load. $35 to clal microsoft for assistance. Can't return it as the store is out fo business now.
Great for XP/Vista; Horrible if you've upped to Win 7

Pros
Good pic quality and face tracking is decent.
Cons
Will NOT work on Windows 7, unless you are willing to test drive a beta for MS. The monitor perch configuration lacks rubber grips to keep the camera in place.
Summary
Good unless you upgraded to Windows 7, in which case it is a nice plastic decorative object on top of your monitor.
