Which of the above is the best?

I'm looking for voice clarity, less bandwidth usage and as an extra- video conferencing.

no

if your making pc to pc calls they just need the same chat program as you.

msn and yahoo have good webcams as well so you can see the person talk to you.

I prefer msn for this but yahoo is good too

Why?



-It doesn't attempt to take over your computer when you install it.

-Setup is easy.

-Sound quality is great.

All of the above could be said about Skype 18 months ago.

I am sure the others are good. Skype has been good a long time.
