Is Ma Microsoft calling? | |

| Time: 15:35 EST/20:35 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||

When Microsoft executive Peyton Smith recently declared at an industry conference that office phones were destined to "collect dust," audible chuckles rippled through the darkened hall. Two months later, some smirks still remain. But fewer folks are laughing out loud. This summer, Microsoft will unveil its much-hyped server software Office Real Time Communications (RTC) Server 2003, officially joining the race to give office communications their biggest makeover since the arrival of e-mail. | ||

that two boards where MrRoper has been, uhh... out of sync with his comment. Hey AW admins... is he on crack or is there a technical glitch?
On the topic of Windows helping with telephony... BRING IT ON. As a purchaser of >$500k in telecom products/services... I can tell you that companies are RAPED right now. The Nortels of the world are enjoying a big fat margin. And if you think Microsoft vendor-lockin is bad... you obviously dont know what these tele companies do. Obscene, to say the least. Can you feel it? Microsoft just reached its right hand up and grabbed the next rung of the enterprise ladder. This post was edited by mooresa56 on Thursday, June 12, 2003 at 22:09. |

| No kidding, mooresa56... we pay over $500 per phone--that's more than a decent PC! They're decent phones (other than that the hookswitch mechanisms go bad all the time), but that's a ridiculous price. I wish I had been around when they picked the phone system, but the prices aren't much better anywhere else. |
