Can anyone tell me if this CCD camera is worth it?

Meade's exciting new LPI (Lunar Planetary Imager) can be used on any
telescope for making images...

Would this be a better route than getting a Webcam and converting it?  Does
this thing work with Windows XP?  Has anyone used one?

Thanks for the info!
