We recently passed 25,000 users. Unfortunately, our ILS usage has leveled
out at about 3,000 concurrent users so I'm concerned that we are getting
alot of first time visitors and not enough regular users.
Still, all in all, NetMeeting has been received very positively at Ford and
we would be very disappointed if Microsoft dropped support for it.

My research shows exactly the opposite.
The problem was that while the Microsoft ILS servers are up, that was the
only type of PUBLIC behavior that was apparent.
I know one company that has about 10,000 NetMeeting users. That would be far
more than are on any public ILS server at this time.
