Other than the design there is nothing positive about this camera. It interfered so badly with my XP-based laptop that I ended re-installing the operating system. I then tried it on my Vista-based PC. Windows Vista is not able to find the appropriate driver so that you have to go to the Microsoft website and find the driver yourself (which is not a big deal, but it is surprising considering the OS and the webcam are both made by Microsoft). In any case, when I tried to use this camera with Skype it caused trouble, as well (even after I disabled the integrated mic): Every 5-10 minutes I would either stop hearing the other party or the other party would stop hearing me forcing me to go and make necessary adjustments.The admittedly nice design is not enough to give it a 2-star review. I am certain there are fixes to all of the above issues (and others, too), but only after spending a lot of time finding help in online fora, which cannot be the purpose.
