So far, so good. I've been able to get Diablo II and all of the MSN functions including video and remote assistance to work through it. I wasn't able to get AOE II to connect to a game over the Internet with both computers like I was Diablo II, though. I'll have to poke around and find out what the problem is.

Yep. I've been hitting their site hoping to see a new update. One of the limitations seems to be that it doesn't fully support DirectX 8, either. So DirectPlay does not consistently work. But, the wife is happy. She can now use the webcam through Messenger while talking to her family.
