Still learning....quick question

I have got windows xp and use Internet Explorer.

Whilst 'messing about' i went to 'Tools'-'Internet Options' and then the Programmes tab. I saw various options one of which is called 'Internet Call' and it gives 2 choices being:
1.Netmeeting
2.Skype

NetMeeting is the one selected on my PC.

My question is What does this mean? Does it matter which one is selected.We do use Skype but not NetMeeting(whatever that is).

Sorry if its a silly question and maybe it doesnt really matter,but i am curious .

Thanks

    Netmeeting is the one selected on my pc too, i've never 'messed about' with that option before so i presume its the default and nothing to worry about.
    I also use skype and it works fine so it can't be anything to do with it, but i'm sure someone more clued up will correct me if i'm wrong.

    and do yourself a favor and dump the dreaded IE -- switch to Firefox or Chrome or anything but IE!
