This week Microsoft announced its ambitious plans to unify the various communications protocols that many of us use on a daily basis. The premise for Microsoft's project is that the company says the communications world is currently too disjointed. For example: email, instant messaging, text messaging, VoIP technologies as well as audio and video conference technologies can all be tied together. According to Microsoft, it believes that a unified communications architecture that's tightly integrated into the next version of Office will greatly improve business productivity as well as general convenience for a wide array of users. Granted, most business today rely on Microsoft's productivity suite, it makes sense for the company to step forward in this direction.
