[Asterisk-Users] Oh oh. Micro$oft just noticed VoIP

[Bruce Reeves]

The Wall Street Journal had a write up on this and after reading through it
I did not see much in the way of improvement. It seems like the main focus
of Micro$oft is to integrate their products with phone systems which can
already be done. The article talked about dialing from Office apps and
voicemail in email which can all be accomplished in * and maybe in other
products like Cisco and Avaya for a price.
