Collaborative Thinking: Microsoft Makes It Easier for Organizations to Transition to Its Unified Communications and Collaboration Platform

 My colleague Mike Gotta points out the misleading nature of Microsoft's Notes compete product press release. Not only is it misleading implying that there's something there when it's not, it is an odd decision to lump moving Notes users to Exchange and SharePoint with a UC message. You'd think they'd go after collaboration first.

Just to clarify this release from Microsoft, which I find misleading, nothing exists today that will help Lotus customers migrate from Sametime to an LCS or future OCS environment. To imply so in the title of the press release is unfortunate. From Notes/Domino to Exchange (e-mail), yes. From IBM's real-time collaboration tools to Communicator and LCS, no. The term "unified communications" should not have been used (it implies something that's not there).
