No they can't. I just bought a Microsoft Live camera, and I had to install 400mb worth of stuff to get it work, on a pretty patched up XP, and even a Vista!!

No they can't. I just bought a Microsoft Live camera, and I had to install 400mb worth of stuff to get it work, on a pretty patched up XP, and even a Vista!! (which came out a year ago). It should be able to just plug that thing and get going. Ah, and the button on top of it, works of course, only with MSN. Oh, and it wont even work on my sister's computer, as she needs to install SP2. MS = crap And let's not even mention what sorry piece of OS Vista is. It is god aweful, and I regeret not wiping it out from my parent's computer.
