Great article Don! Here are some excerpts. Hope it materializes soon! >>>This then is how the situation looks from an Israeli perspective: Ballmer believes that IP telephony will replace traditional telephony, and is keen for it to work entirely in a Windows NT 5 environment (what else?). Ballmer even stated in his lecture that a leading Israeli IP telephony company was working in cooperation with Microsoft. I think the company in question is VocalTec, which will play a major role in the future infrastructure of Internet protocols based telephony.<<<

Don, let's not forget that the DOJ might have some influence on future Microsoft Internet business, though I sure would not mind seeing a joint MSFT/VOCLF announcement, esp. as it might outweigh the following: biz.yahoo.com Looks like a quite complete VoIP product portfolio. Is it overly optimistic to hope that this just means that this market is now large enough for the 'big boys' to enter the scene ? Goetz. PS: First post here, though I have enjoyed 'lurking' here for the last 7 months much more than the >30% loss I am sitting out on VOCLF :-)
