Microsoft Live Meeting

Microsoft Live Meeting is a commercial subscription-based web conferencing service operated by Microsoft as a part of their Office Live package.

There is also a Java based console which has antecedent release functionality. This also operates in Mac and Solaris environments. Microsoft recently announced a Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007, which Microsoft deems a "complete event management solution".
