Both are actually very easy to drive, both integrate with IPT/ UM, and can work across SIP and H323 boundaries, if you accept the investment in gateways. Yes there is some complexity in set up - but not as much as you think. <br />
Cisco's build out of Webex is the key to your assertion above. The added integration it has now with Cisco Unified communications Manager 7 and Meeting Place takes the home user experience and makes it enterprise ready. Microsoft is trying a similar thing.<br />
The shift to "user driven innovation" is here now as apps and services like Skype and Sightspeed drive expectations of users.<br />
In fact, Skype has done more for my Tandberg and Polycom sales than any trade show/ marketing campaign as it socializes Video with users.</p>
