This is actually very exciting for us mac users. If the skype dev's decide to support the isight this will become the first "it just works" method to videoconference between a mac and a pc (or a mac to a mac for that matter).
Right now ichat, aim, and yahoo are great if you can manage to open the correct ports for video conferencing.
Unfortunately my girlfriend (currently living 6 hours away) has no access to her schools firewall/router and if/once OS X support is added this will be great for the cold lonely nights *wink*
One of the major differences between buying "throw away" optical drives vs. "throw away" ram is that even a novice computer user can figure out "hey, the cup holder wont open, it must be broken". With faulty memory, in most cases, your computer will simply become extremely unstable and trying to pinpoint the problem becomes at best a 50$ diag fee at compUSA.
Obviously (most of) the slashdot crowd should be able to track down a bad stick-o-ram but what happens when little jimmy from next door builds his grandmother a 200$ "wonder parts" PC.
