This is an applications question, and hence belongs in the applications forum, not the macbook forum. And no, at present, the iSight will NOT work in windows under any circumstances

I believe people are having success running Wengo: http://www.openwengo.org/

You can run the OS X version, and your friend the PC one. It could be the cross platform video app we've been waiting for (shame on you Skype).

But this should be moved to applications.

It should be moved to applications and thanks for that openwengo link, but it seems to buggy for real use at the moment. I await the next proper release.
