Unified Communications a Go
    Last week, Microsoft had one of its classic press conferences: a huge stage, 
  lots of people, carefully scripted speeches and a big city -- in this case, 
  San Francisco. Bill even made an appearance. 
Microsoft has been talking so much about Unified Communications that I reckoned 
  all this software had been shipping. But no; the press conference was to announce 
  the availability 
  of a bunch of pieces, including Office Communications Server 2007 (the core 
  platform for VoIP and other communications features), Office Communicator (the 
  client piece), a new rev of Live Meeting and a new video conferencing system. 
I've been hearing about Unified Communications (we used to call it Unified 
  Messaging for over a decade). So why do I still have an office phone, a home 
  office phone, a BlackBerry and a laptop, all of which are barely on speaking 
  terms? 
Are you a Unified Communications ace? If so, how'd you do it? Tell us by writing 
  me at [email protected].
