Some thoughts from my typical meetings...

Almost all of the presentations I have seen at work have been shared with people on the phone as well (using terrible sharing tech, I might add). I agree with other posters that having an offline backup solution is important, but given how losing network connectivity already breaks meetings for us, I think having to load up from a USB drive would be an acceptable delay.

A portion of our meetings have demo sections. Either showing off features of some web app from their computer, or VNCing into a server and demo'ing functionality from terminals.

We have to hook up a computer to the projector in a room regardless - there isn't one already there. Having multiple presenters in one meeting would definitely go smoother, though it doesn't happen that often. Startup time would definitely be faster though, as noted our web conference software sucks.

I also like the idea (posted elsewhere) to be able to draw on the slides / point things out.

I loved the demo :)
