The new challenge , Microsoft jumped into the Voice over Internet (VoIP) provider market Wednesday with the announcement that business users will be able to test a beta version of its VoIP Office Communications Server 2007 (OCS)
Jeff Raikes, president of Microsoft's business division, made the announcement during his keynote address at the VoiceCon Spring 2007 trade show . According to him, by 2010, the cost of standard VoIP business solutions will be half what they are today, as VoIP systems evolve from hardware to software.
"Software is set to transform business phone systems as profoundly as it has transformed virtually every other form of workplace communication," Raikes said. "Over time, the software-based VoIP technology built into [OCS and OC] will offer so much value and cost savings that it will make the standard telephone look like that old typewriter that's gathering dust in the stockroom."
