Polycom released new Beta software today for the Polycom C100S. If you use Vista, Skype and a Polycom C100S you will want to upgrade. Note: After installation you need to tell Windows Defender to allow this new software. This is not noted in the installation instructions.

I am looking for a decent (and inexpensive) conference phone to use with Skype. The C100S is highly regarded as a quality speakerphone but it lacked Vista support.
Now I read about the 2.9.1 beta drivers which add support for Vista, which is good news.
Can you, please, tell me how do the beta Vista drivers work as compared to XP? Is the sound quality as good?

I can confirm that this driver software should work for both Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
I hope this is useful for you.
