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>
