Yes! This is true to some extent. 

NetMeeting isn't included in Windows 7; it's now called Microsoft SharedView. There is a small download that needs to be installed on each machine wanting to join the meeting. Up to 15 participants are allowed, and this program works on Windows 7, Vista, XP,  Windows Server 2003 machines.

But the problem is this is not a Netmeeting replacement and it cannot be used over a LAN. But you need a WinLive ID to work on it.
