You can get the deep application integration of the Microsoft client and the
solid, robust and best-of-class ip voice services that Cisco offers. The
combination is truly powerful, especially with Cisco’s upcoming integration pieces.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'>Good points. I agree. I think
MS will have to concentrate on hardening their systems before people will jump
to running their PBX on it. Then again, if they can tolerate the system going
down once and a while, maybe they won't care.<br>
<br>
The other thing is, as far as I know, MS is not going to be producing hard
phones. Something to consider.<br>

they could nail that down. I do have a school using Exchange 2k7 for
