[cisco-voip] CM 8.0

Maybe it's just some deal we had originally, but our UCSS for Unity licenses
doubled recently. We're looking at whether we should continue buying it, or
cut our losses and wait for the Exchange guys to put in Exchange 2010.
As a CSCO shareholder I think it's great. As a long time customer of Cisco
the way the voice division works wrt pricing really sours me on the company
as a whole. (Not that the routing and switching BU is far behind, I'm
getting sick of being told that I need VSS and Nexii in my datacentre)
