Hi Jonathan,
Would you mind explaining a little bit what all the different things are
please ?
A lot of people do not or not fully understand what is meant exactly with :
- display pictures
- SIP-based communication services
- Exchange IM services
- Exchange IM server
- Office Live Communication Server
- etc
I think that you would do a very big favour to an awful lot of people by
explaining all these very sophisticated terms in an easy to understand (not
technical) language.
The same questions are coming back again and again, most probably a lot of
people do not have a clue what is meant by all this SIP, Exchange Server and
other Server issues.
Suppose for a second that you know nothing about it yourself - then how
would you like somebody to explain it to you, so that you would understand
all of it.
Maybe via your web-site ?
I really believe that this is a real challenge for you as an MVP
