Just spent about 30 minutes trying to get a Logitech webcam we had lying around the office to work with my Thinkpad. Couldn't make it work, and gave up after I realized that I spent about 29 minutes more than I should have trying to find and install the drivers for the damn thing. It's late 2006. Shouldn't plug and play be a reality by now?
There was one nice touch in this otherwise incredibly frustrating experience -- Logitech has nice little pictures to help you find the right software for your device. Of course, the package for my cam was a 79mb download (who needs 79 megs of software for a web cam?) that didn't work. But hey, at least their web team got their part of the experience right.
you find it difficult with webcam, try to instal accounting softar wich "plag-in and plya , easy and intuitive" .... well I have soe programming background and it is ben a week I fighting this "plug in play" stuff, it is funny and tortureous but the manual to the soft amount no less then 500 pages on how to instal ... well I gues just in case you fail the plug in and play...}}}

Who the heck wants to have to read a 500 page manual just to be able to install?
Sheesh!
