Can anyone suggest what to use for video conferening for multiple users? Is
Netmeeting still the one? Windows XP does not come preloaded with any
clients? Thanks.

Microsoft bought out Groove and it is supposed to be a conference program.

NetMeeting does not support multiparty audio/video unless you are using a
MCU.

My understanding is that Skype or one of its add ons has multiparty
audio/video conferencing without the use of an outside server. Ivisit
(http://www.ivisit.com/) has multiparty support. I am sure there more that
others may suggest.

None that do multiparty audio/video without outside server support. XP does
come with both NetMeeting and TAPI3 clients though that can work with MCUs.
