I was hoping the speed issue would have been improved with the release version but that unfortunately doesn't seem to be the case :-( So, the suggested speed improvement still stands.
That said I wonder if the SharedView team is receiving pressure _not_ to improve the speed so as not to cut into the LiveSpace paid collaboraton tool's marketspace. As it stands, SharedView would indeed find favor among the IT crowd as a free solution that could fit a big chunk of their remote support/meeting needs.
I suspect this may have been why netmeeting was stopped in its development tracks. NM was a killer tool for remote support (given some firewall/router tweaks). It was fast, easy, built-in and remote-users could connect directly.
In any event, another suggestion would be to have the main SV toolbar auto-'hug' against the top of the screen, displaying only a small chevron so the user can grab/restore it as needed. The toolbar should be invisible to users remotely viewing the screen.
Also, an ability to minimize to the systray would be nice.
