integration with the map means you'll be able to see where the person who's talking is, i have faith in this and i will be paying to use it to my advantage in kali :)
Map integration and all....hmm...I can see alliances liking that.
No more joining a TS channel and gang and announcing you're in a fleet op, when you're really 32 jumps jumps away happily mining Arkanor, like 1/2 the wastrels in ASCN did...not that I'm bitter. 
Yeah, I didnt think of that, but this actually comes with a Big Brother alert...
You have ability to see gang members on the map already. So it's not a big feature.

I wonder if people will fuss with the new Vista OS since they will have to change thier hardware!!!!!!!! If the dont then they can wait 5 years before they are forced.
I am still using Windows 2000 and I am happy with it. It works for me and WinXP has nothing I don't have in Win2k already.
As for Vivox: it will be good because you can do random chats with random people. Hatemails from your victims will be passe and you will gain ability to actually hear their screams. For this reason only I think I will join.
But... For regular corp activity and pvp ops I will continue to use TS. It's more flexible and has all features I need.

Just as a thought to those who say 'I got Voice Chat for free, i host it on my spare PC/whatever'.. if you take the cost for electricity etc you actualy pay ALOT more then $10/year or then just renting a TS Server.
Just as an example.. in Oklahoma, the price per Kilowatt ranges from 3 - 5 cent per Kwh (Kilowatt/hour). If you have TS/Ventrilo running on a spare PC (350W PSU), for 18h/Day and 350 Days/Year (just an estimate for Downtime, Network failure, Power outages, Vacations, etc) you still pay $88 per Year. Taking a Kwh price of $0.04 (4 cent/kwh).
This doesnt incluce the Monitor (not realy needed for running a Server anyways).
I run my box at home all the time because I host my webpage, ftp server and few other services. So putting TS on it is really free. We are talking about someone having server running already.
