The only Windows client I know that you can download and will "just work" with Jingle is Psi. Gajim still doesn't seem to have it enabled in the releases.
Psi sometimes has issues with receiving calls from Pidgin and Empathy because apparently they don't follow the spec quite right, but those are apparently fixed for the next release, targeted at March 1.

1. Google servers are powerful and don't suffer from downtime. Communication is from within the Netherlands to Australia.
2. Everybody I know has a GMail account and Gmail can be used for VOIP over Jingle too.
3. Convincing people to use Google wouldn't be a problem. Google = large trusted company = good :')

Among clients that support the Jingle protocol is Empathy, yes. However Google Talk is not fully compatible with the spec, so it isn't compatible with all clients.
In order for Empathy to wok with Google Talk one needs to have a Google Talk account (Gtalk) and specify the following:
Server: talk.google.com
Port: 5223
And have the "Use old SSL" option checked.
You can use Jingle with any Jabber account, including ones from Jabber.org, Livejournal chat, or, yes, GTalk. Facebook Chat is eventually supposed to use jabber too.
Since the jabber servers talk to each other, you'd just add yourfriend @ gmail.com or [email protected] to your friend list. Jabber IDs look just like email addresses.
Other Jingle-compatible clients include Gajim and Psi (which work on Windows as well as Linux). Gajim has a video button, but I haven't tried using it.
Kopete (KDE) also claims to have Jingle support, but I've never gotten it working.

Does anyone know a user-friendly FLOSS app that works under Linux, Windows XP, Vista and 7? I would switch to it, ASAP...
