Just searched google and it doesn't look like there is anyway to use it right now. Somebody says that it works on Yahoo but I know that even on OS X Yahoo has crap quality for the iSight. The only program that uses it efficiently is iChatAV which is only on OS X

Long-Term Solution

Windows LongHorn will copy many aspects of Mac OS X(Flurry screensaver, backgrounds, less crashing, etc..), maybe they'll throw in support for iSights.

Short-Term Solution

Use iSight on a Mac

iSight works on a PC, however the mic does not. You are going to have to find a 3rd party driver for that.

Would you be able to tell me how to install iSight on a pc? Or could you tell me where to get this info.
I have an old imac and am waiting to get a new one, but it may be awhile. I only have a pc right now, an would like to use my iSight.
