More on Microsoft's Push into VoIP

Mary Jo Foley today has an article on Microsoft to Muscle Deeper Into VOIP? Now this is getting good. Will Microsoft get into VoIP...sure you bet. If they are using SIP in Live Communications Server 2005 then you know it will be just a matter of time before they get the total package in place.

This is the first time I've heard they're working on a phone that plugs into a USB port...that's totally cool and expected. What better way to roll out VoIP effectively in a small office than with SBS, LCS 05 and then some USB phones that run SIP. Finally a whole small business package solution. You gotta think that Microsoft is heading in this direction.

I'm definitely waiting on this as I see it as an effective way to extend Small Business Server and get into clients that I previously wouldn't have.
