    Hello All, I need some serious help finding Best optimal alternative solution of netmeeting in windows 7. So Scenario is like this: Windows XP do support Net-Meetings but widows 7 doesn't so Microsoft Informed Customers that Use Remote Desktop, but the problem with Remote Desktop is only that only one-side can be operated that means if I remote control you , you will be automatically logged off and I will get all control of your computer/system. Which i do not prefer,since in business if customer's screen gets blank out while remote controlling customer will be more than angry to see blank screen so what i want to get is something like netmeeting where customer can see what actually we are doing while remote control session.So other option is Microsoft SharePoint Workspace(Groove)but i haven't use it yet. I cannot Use Skype or live messenger because it doesn't look professional and i do not want everyone to download that Skype then create username Id and all that. So If Anyone Out there knows Best optimal alternate solution of Net-meeting for Windows 7. Grab your keyboard and REPLY HERE :D Thank you All for reading this message and Hope you All Reply Me with your best suggestion. Cheers, Mohit.

      NetMeeting is the Skype of the nineties. One could write a thin client on top of the Skype-API, that way you could use it with whatever UI you want. There's also some open source components for the MSNP-protocol. Do you only need to share the desktop? If so, look into TeamViewer[^], or Spolsky's CoPilot[^].

      I are Troll :suss:

        Hey, Thx for your reply. But yes in Skype you have to register and make account and all that which i do not want my clients to do that, just to make it simpler enter the ip address you want to connect and that's it like a net meeting. Also , I need to share desktop other person should be able to read and write my shared screen so like remote Desktop connection. but problem with RDC is that it logs off the other person and makes blank screen which is no good thx

          Hi, Personnaly I use TeamViewer every day to help my clients in solving their computer-related problems. It works fine, even if the computer is behind a firewall, router or proxy. But it's not a free product, you have to pay for it (one single licence for you, and with it you can connect to as many clients as you want). Your clients download the free/quick support version ; so they don't have to buy anything. Hope this helps. Kind regards.
