Exactly this issue:
http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Webcams/Quickcam-Pro-9000-Skype-System-hangs/m-p/396119?nobounce
Mostly windows, afair, which I have to use it on occasionally. I bought
an E5500 for my mum and it took a few months to get it going (admittedly
she is interstate, so I only had a few hours a month to try!) The
solution was weird, and some "new" windows version of skype seemed to be
immune, but I was already burned!
The same quickcam on my gentoo box didn't have any problems. Apparently
it was specific to certain quickcams, but this was a while ago, so
details in my brain are sketchy!
Can you get 720p on linux with the C600?

I love dogs, but I hate Chihuahuas. A Chihuahua isn't a dog. It's a rat
with a thyroid problem.
