So, while this is interesting (using it right now to post this message).. I find it painfully slow, and inefficient. The network utilization seems much higher than typical RDP or VNC sessions. What exactly is the point? Or is it just another gotomeeting / webex / livemeeting clone to add to their collaborative suite they have been working at?
I think yes, and I wouldn't be surprised if they rushed this out a little too early because of high demand. Free webinars/conferencing will be disruptive.
The video encoding is VP8, a general-purpose video codec. It's not specifically made for remote desktops, so it uses a lot more bandwidth than RDP or VNC.
