I'd like to know more about this too. We've been using the beta H.264 VIC client for a while now and it would be nice to know what progress is being made. The only thing I would say is that, well, the performance hit is shockingly bad in the current H.264 VIC client. What interests me much more is the MPEG-4 codec also offered. It has roughly a quarter of the load of H.264 with very comparable quality.
We don't currently substitute the VIC tool provided in AG3.1 for the beta version, since it's beta and all. Instead we use the beta version of VIC and MPEG-4 for meetings between our 2 sites when there are problems with the bridges (we're limited to unicast at RAL). Since you can launch VIC and RAT as unicast tools just pointing at the remote site IP, it's something we run off a batch script. Regards, Adam Horwich.
