No idea. Friend of mine mailed it to me as well. I'd be interested in hearing comments as well. I'm not one to arbitrarily load software on my machine.

Also......nothing is really free.

I used to use Skype and Teamspeak all the time. If something like Skype isn't your style, check out Teamspeak.

I used Skype a few months back and it was OK. I think it was only a free trial though.

I was looking at skype and read on the website two words that immediately scared the crap out of me:

P2P and KaZaa

isn't this program gonna hack my registry and install dialers and all sorts of other crap>>???

Is Teamspeak a different story or is it still P2P software?>??
