For The Record

The ForTheRecord company has been looking for partners for some time now and I have suspected that problems finding those partners have been related to new potential product from Microsoft that competes. Product like Vista which at one time was to have voice capabilities and product like the new Exchange Server mentioned in the article. Regarding FTR, See

But there are greater issues and those involve the Java 2 API which long ago addressed voice recording and text to voice and hasn't had the patent issues I suspect Microsoft has had with its voice related projects.

It isn't by accident that a billion phone computers are Java capable. Text to voice has long been planned on these devices.

The above coupled with the undenighable paradyme shift to multiprocessor multicore (a shift that Exchange Server on its own, likely can not deal with) means that developers should look more deeply for capabilities described in the article.

The Novell/Microsoft marriage is relevant here because voice tecnology has always been oriented to Unix flavors. Novell recently redeployed a team working on an open source email project and I suspect that this talent will be helping to bring exchange server into the multi processor multi core world. Duos are usual now for phone computers.

Of all the technologies that benefit from the true threading a multiprocessor multicore machine provides, voice recogition and voice to text stand above most. That implies that a Windows OS running exchange server should be virtualized on top of Linux/Unix if exchange is to be utilized at all.

Novell's Suse Linux in particular is salvation for those who will be sticking with in house supported exchange server. It means that voice technology long available on Unix may be available. The possibility of time share arrangements where a company (likely a phone company) provides exchange based email utilizing many virtualized exchange servers runing on top of Linix or some other Unix flavor (Sun OS, AIX?) to companies that no longer want to mess with in-house support of exchange likely represents a reason for in-house Exchange Email IT talent to jump on the Novell Suse Linux band wagon or prepare resumes that they will be sending to the outsourcers and phone companies.
