Redmond: completely intellectual meltdown.....
`` The ability to handle voice over Internet Protocol technology is "one of the core features (Microsoft is) building into the next version of Office," said Hilf, Microsoft's director of platform technology strategy. The company also plans to continue adding more server-based products to the Office family of products, he said. ''

That's right: after MS providing a SOLID and SECURE infrastructure for the deployment of distributed client/server or peer-to-peer applications accross the various useful platforms, it realized that the ONLY feature missing is the VoIP capabilities.....

Wait a moment: NONE of the above is possible: NO crossplatform interoperability, no significant server s/w (just the same'ol workgroup crap), and yes, the computing is still trashworthy.

They have lost it completely: (not that they had enough before but) now the last intellectual bits have evaporated under the pressures of the .. complexities of tabs, firefox and linux, OS-x, ....

it was bound to happen: the energy went to feed the greed so not much left for the thinking process.
