Starting a Windows Meeting

Windows Meeting Space (New!) is a program that allows you to set up a meeting with up to ten people and share documents, programs, or your desktop. Before you can hold a meeting, each person attending the meeting needs to be running Windows Vista. To start a new meeting, you give it a name and password for security purposes, and then you invite others to attend. In the meeting, you can share a program or your desktop, and distribute any handout files you want to attendees.
