I'm working for a MS Gold, Cisco Silver, and Avaya Platinum dealer, UM
on  the telephony platforms either Cisco (Unity) or Avaya (MM), both
best in their fields for IPtel and TDM, their UM products function far
worse than anything Microsoft standalone ever has. The features with
MS LCS and now Exchange 07 with UM builtin will give these companies a
run for their money. I gaurantee it. I even heard rumors that MS has a
VoIP system in the works too....
