[asterisk-users] Microsoft will enter VoIP market in earnest next year, says Ballmer

[Brodie Macleod]

Everyone here is saying how it would be so great to have native 
desktop/outlook/exchange/etc support, but seriously, do you really think M$ 
is going to develop these products to use with the open source market? 
They're going to want to try monopolizing it and creating an environment 
where you need to use M$ VoIP products to take advantage of to try forcing 
users to buy their products like they do with everything else.
