"Ekiga would be good but no one uses it on windows"

Ekiga is compatible with Netmeeting (which if I'm not mistaken is
pre-installed on Windows)

The only problem with Netmeeting (H.323) is that you may need to mess round
with ports and stuff, NAT traversal isn't as good as Skype for example.

I chat to my Windows using friends from Ekiga (SIP) with them mostly using
Gizmo (gizmoproject.com).
