I found this very cool video somewhere on the net. Windows 7 is not even released and a concept video of the next release codename: “Copenhagen” is already availible. Will this be Windows 8?? See for yourself.
Microsoft announced some imported changes in their Public Instant Messaging Connectivity (PIC) license model. PIC makes it possible to federate with public IM services like MS Live, Yahoo, AOL.
The following changes will be effective at july 1, 2009:
The Live Communications Sever Public IM Connectivity (LCS PIC) license will be renamed Office Communications Server Public IM Connectivity (OCS PIC) license.
Customers with Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Standard CAL or Office Communications Server 2007/Live Communications Server 2005 SP1 Standard CAL with Software Assurance will no longer require an additional license to federate with Windows Live. (A license will still be required for federation with AOL & Yahoo!.)
With Windows Live federation, customers are able to add Windows Live contacts to their Office Communicator contact list, view presence and send and receive instant messages.
We will continue to work with our partners to enable more options that allow you to communicate seamlessly with customers, partners, friends and family on different networks. For more information on public IM connectivity with Office Communications Server, please go to http://www.microsoft.com/communicationsserver/en/us/public-im-connectivity.aspx
Today I finally did the OCS 2007 R2 exam (070-638) and passed it with 955 points. I’m a little bit proud of myself . The exam contains 65 questions and some of them are about R2. So what’s next……mmm.
