I had this question some months ago but I forgot it (my mind is always too full
) and today is arrived the right chance to remember it.
This evening I want to join the private Live Meeting with Brett Hill on IIS 7 (for people,involved on the Vista Beta Testing) but I wasn't with my laptop, but on a pc where Office Live Meeting was not installed.
This is the meeting Entry page that always appears you, with the choice you can do:

Now my question is: why Office Live Meeting must have a Web-based Meeting Console that requires the Java Environment? Is it necessary? Is it impossible to have something based on AJAX and managed code for example?
The Web-based Console could be more attractive...
