Well this is peculiar. I was just booting into Windows and all the sudden I get a "Found New Hardware" balloon pop up. So i click on it and it says that it's found a "Built-in iSight". It successfully "installed" using whatever drivers it thought best (so obviously it didn't install correctly. I went into MSN, saw that my webcam was recognized, but crashed MSN when I clicked on it), but I find it interesting that it recognized it without my help. Are there any iSight drivers for Windows? Or is it merely plug and play?

I'm curious to know how many others have gotten this

yeah. I tried the suggested links in the wiki but to no avail. So there's no Windows support for iSights whatsoever? Cause I know the external iSights work in Windows, don't they?

yes the external isight work well
but this one is a firewire
the build-in isight in imac and MBP is not a firewire, it uses usb2
so that's why the driver doesn't work, it's not a good
i think
