Microsoft Portrait 2.2 Released
For those who like to play with cutting-edge prototype software, version 2.2 of Microsoft Portrait was recently released as a free download from Microsoft Research.
"Microsoft Portrait is a research prototype for mobile video communication. It supports .NET Messenger Service, Session Initiation Protocol and Internet Locator Service on PCs, Pocket PCs, Handheld PCs and Smartphone. It runs on local area networks, dialup networks and even wireless networks with bandwidths as low as 9.6 kilobits/second. Microsoft Portrait delivers portrait-like video if users are in low bandwidths and displays full-color video if users are in broadband. In low bandwidths, portrait video possesses clearer shape, smoother motion, shorter latency and much cheaper computational cost than do conventional video technologies. Microsoft Portrait pursues providing presence notification, chat/voice/video functions anytime, anywhere, on any device."
In this new release comes support for the latest version of the .NET Messenger Service, Microsoft Live Communications Server 2003, and (this is the part that sounds most interesting to me) support for multi-party chat.
