Ex Microsoftee Alec Saunders on the New Unified Communications Approach

Alec says Microsoft is going to need some help to execute on their vision with their new Unified Communications strategy.

I say this is a golden time for the real Voice 2.0 companies to rise and shine. If you're one of the companies squarely in the gunsights of Microsoft, now is the time to evolve, adapt, change and not die.

Alec's point about word processors is dead on (well no pun intended) refering to the fact that better solutions were steamrolled over by MSFT with Word and Office by sheer enertia, not being a better mousetrap.
