[cisco-voip] big news - Microsoft and Cisco collaborating again!

[Palmer, Brian]

I always figured that Microsoft would utilize Office365 to push more away from Cisco products and into the Microsoft Realm.  Microsoft will offer enterprise products for free in order to pull them into the fold.  I figure all Microsoft needs now is to just buy a company that can fill the void they lack in the collaboration space and then they can attempt to offer an even fuller offering with office included.

Some interesting news...

It will be interesting to see how this pans out and whether this will be at a cost to existing Webex subscribers.

The last time checked pricing, it was about $2500-$5000 US MSRP per year per concurrent with a minimum license purchase of 5. (Sorry I can't recall the exact cost).
