Mac OS X Apple released version 1.1 beta of its Boot Camp software that allows Apple users to run MacOS X side by side with Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac. The 202 MB download adds support for newly released Intel-Macs, simplified partitioning, the ability to install Windows XP on any internal disk, support for the Isight camera and built-in microphones, as well as improved Apple keyboard support. Apple says that users should create a new Macintosh Drivers for Windows CD and install the updated software it contains on Windows XP. According to Apple, this will not require the user having to reinstall Windows XP or Mac OS X. Elsewhere, Apple is preparing for the new Xserver cluster node.

I am fairly sure that you have never needed to. I was lead to believe that the stand alone iSight was just a standard firewire camera, and thus would "just work" on pretty much any recent OS that supported firewire cameras.

Now from what I understand that firewire cameras appear differently in the windows subsystem so I don't know if Instant Messanger programs are coded to use it, however any video editing software should be able to pick it up.
