Mac's iChat on Windows..?

[mjs]

Hi,

I'm on WinXP SP2 fully patched. My friend is on MAC. Her entire family is,
actually, and they all communicate using something called iChat
videoconferencing.

Any way for me, as a Windows user, to get in on that action? Is there
somekind of iChat for Windows out there I can use and seemlessly join them
in their videoconferencing sessions (both audio and video)?

Thanks.

A Google search found these gems:

"At long last, there's a video messaging platform for Windows XP that
will communicate with the stupendous (but Mac-only) iChat AV. AIM 5.5
includes Live Video IM, and is compatible with iChat AV. AIM me or add
me to your buddy list.

Unless I misunderstood something here, it doesn't seem to indicate that
iChat is available for Windows... but rather, that AIM can connect to the
iChat network.

Am I understanding this correctly? I'd rather not install AIM if at all
possible. I wouldn't mind installing iChat, however, if that option exists
(and if it does, can you point me to a download area?)

Thanks.

It looks like AIM is the only way for now.
