You mean garbage like those things that let you automatically flip powerpoints for a remote user to present a talk? Garbage that has become popular because sales reps and marketing weenies are apparently too stupid to tell their meeting attendees, "next slide, please..." as they pause to collect their thoughts? Yeah, we need that garbage in order to do business. Not.
Au contraire.Perhaps when used as your describe, Marcus, that software isn't so valuable. OTOH, for remote debugging, set-up and so on, it can be invaluable. Whenever our engineers go to do a site set-up, they know they can always get someone here to help them via browser-based conferencing.
Very valuable and useful for more then the sellers originally envisioned. Interesting sidelight on the discussion I think.
