Microsoft Office Live Meeting (2007 version) Client
Comparison
Office Live Meeting Client (Windows-based
client) — The Windows-based meeting client is a full-featured Windows
program that is installed and run from the end user's computer. Office Live
Meeting users with Windows-based computers should use the Windows-based meeting
client because it offers features that are not available with Office Live
Meeting Web Access.
Office Live Meeting Web Access
(Web-based client) — Office Live Meeting Web Access (MWA) is a Java™-based alternative for users of the Office Live Meeting service who cannot install or
run the Windows-based meeting client, usually because their computer runs an
operating system that is not compatible with the Windows-based meeting client,
such as Linux or Apple Macintosh, or their PC is
locked down and does not allow installation of new software.
Office
Live Meeting Web Access is an applet-based program that runs on any of the Java
runtime environments specified in the system requirements section later in this
guide. MWA does not require installation of any files. However, initiating
application sharing on Apple Macintosh using Office Live Meeting Web Access
does require installation of an application-sharing
component.
