More info?)
Also what is the difference between Netmeeting and Messenger. they seem to
do the same things in the same ways "to some extent". do they use the same
core services ie messaging, white board, application shareing, remote
assistance etc?
I know that you can use the activeX components of Netmeeting to develop your
own customised applications. Can you use the core components of messanger in
the same way? or are they the same components as Netmeeting??
