Microsoft provides Skype competitor
According to this article Office Communicator will only be delivered with Office 2007. That sounds like an attempt to make more companies buy that version of Office, but a bad choice for spreading the Communicator, as especially corporate IT is reluctant to VoIP within companies, and consumers will not buy Office 2007 Professional Plus.

MSN Messenger already supports VoIP via SIP, so I'm wondering how this is different. Surely they will also support a PSTN gateway like Skype as well.

Microsoft Office Communicator: Skype Killer?
