Today, Microsoft is releasing the beta version of its latest unified communications suite. The pair of solutions is known as Office Communicator 2007 (the client side) and Office Communicator Server 2007 (the server side). In favor of Office Communicator Server (OCS), Microsoft is dropping the old product name Live Communications Server (2005) or LCS. To fill you in on the all the details, we've got a video interview and Office Communicator demo session with Microsoft Unified Communications group product manager Paul Duffy, a podcast-only audio version of that interview (that, with the Flash player above, can be streamed, downloaded, or it will show up in your audio player automatically if you're subscribed to my podcast feed), and, in addition to this blog post, an image gallery with 15 screen shots showing Office Communicator in action. The video and podcast start off with a whiteboard discussion that lays out the principal architecture of Microsoft's unified communications approach, diagramming how everything fits together.
