Microsoft Talks Up Unified Communications

I’ll be on the road most of this week in San Francisco and San Jose, meeting with a range of open source and networking companies. I’m wrapping up my visit by attending VoiceCon at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Anoop Gupta, VP of Microsoft’s Unified Communications Group, is one of the keynote speakers. Microsoft is working closely with Nortel to push deeper into VoIP applications. In many ways the strategy puts Microsoft on a collision course with Cisco Systems.
