Two clarifications:<br><br>- Our solution does not require a download. The application is hosted. We do use small downloadable connectors if you synch with Outlook or Mac. Everything else is in the cloud. <br><br>- We don't use P2P. We had a beta client in a previous version, but more and more of our users wanted portability and the ability to schedule meetings from any PC. <br><br>Mark <br>Tungle Hi,

Thanks for sharing our good news. Two clarifications:

- Our solution does not require a download. The application is hosted. We do use small downloadable connectors if you synch with Outlook or Mac. Everything else is in the cloud.

- We don't use P2P. We had a beta client in a previous version, but more and more of our users wanted portability and the ability to schedule meetings from any PC.

Mark
