I recently started using this at home and the one thing I would caution you to look out for is that the default install settings allow communication from anyone. I didn't think too much about that setting until I started receiving dozens of solicitations from what I would call "900" numbers in the real world. Adding them to my blocked list wasn't difficult, nor was changing the setting to only allow communications from my contact list - but it is something to keep in mind if you are thinking of rolling this out in a business environment.
I'm running Beta IV for Windows and connecting to both windows and mac users and have been quite pleased with it. For some reason though, video quality degraded quite a bit between the older Beta build and the latest beta build.
