Web conferencing software

So I've been tasked with creating a write up on different types of web conferencing software that our company might decide to use. So far I've come up with three, the Windows uncluded Microsoft Netmeeting, Webex, and Microsoft Live Meeting. Are there any others you guys would recommend I look into?
 
I haven't used WebEx for several years, but back then their app sharing performance was somewhat poor for some apps (Word, PPT, etc), and horribly abysmal for other apps (like Photoshop). For apps like Photoshop, you would actually think at first that it has completely stopped responding...but in fact, it would simply take a couple of minutes before something simple appeared on the other system, like dropping down a menu. Ghastly.

NetMeeting has no lag (much less severe lag) for any apps that are shared. NetMeeting can do 32-bit color sharing (including desktop sharing), while WebEx has a "whiteboard" type of solution (I don't think their "printer driver" can do 32-bit color sharing).

I've never tried LiveMeeting (or Placeware), so I can't comment...but NetMeeting is a LOT cheaper than either LiveMeeting or WebEx.

But I digress: there's also Interwise and CentraNow, which are quite popular. There's also a list I googled here.
