Video conference with Macintosh User?

I'm trying to do Video conference with a Friend who is now off at college.
We've tries Skype & Sight Speed, though they are not good enough. The user
interface is clunky and the performance is pathetic.

The new AIM PRO looks promising, though I really don't want any AOL products
on my machine.

Any Suggestions for software that will work on both a Mac and a WinXP
machine?

Thanks,
Scott<-

It doesn't have video

However, there is hope.
