Details have not yet been released on support for other platforms, such as Linux, but ports for them may come later. A miniscule download of 2MB supports Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google’s own Chrome on a PC as well as Firefox on a Mac. Straying from the path of other video chat products, Google Voice and Video uses a proprietary plug-in instead of Flash. There are no such issues with any recent system, however. If you’re using an older computer, the PC may suffer poor performance during usage since the application utilizes a lot of resources. Since Google Talk’s video traffic goes through Google servers, it’s expected to be more consistent as far as the connection then Skype since Google has endless bandwidth and server space. The audio and video is high quality, though. The new release is not meant to be a contender to Skype, as it does not possess the ability to connect to the standard phone network or voice mail support. Continuing in this tradition, Google’s Talk messenger application has recently been updated with video and voice capabilities. Google is always working to release new and effective Internet solutions.
