Another great product from MS!

``Istanbul'' how did they pick up this name? Istan(t)bul(l) is a viable explanation. Good news for spam mail people: they can now instan(tly)bul(ls..) you at real time.


``With Istanbul, Microsoft is taking another step toward incorporating IM "presence" into its other popular products such as Outlook and Microsoft Office. Presence technology is designed to let people channel phone calls and other correspondences to their phone or Internet device of choice. It tells other contacts where those same people can be reached when they're offline or whether they can be reached at all. Future applications will include Internet voice calling and the ability to set up live meetings with other contacts using LCS.''

That's right: a new disvtibuted 'colarborarion' tool at the hands of friends on the other side of the world who just want to share (your) information (with them).


``It's about bridging geographies and helping teams work together," said Ed Simnett, lead project manager for real-time collaboration at Microsoft.

Simnett added that the new features found in Istanbul can be used only if companies install LCS 2005, currently in beta, and Exchange server software. LCS 2005 is expected to be launched by the end of the year, he added.''

The great new features keep comming: the Exchange (Remote Compromise) Server can definitely benefit from the instant bull features. Thanks MS!



``Future additions to Istanbul will include links to the buddy lists of Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger and America Online's Instant Messenger. ''

What a remarkable piece of technology. They can do this now? Whoa....

Who cares if security in ms windows is so easily compromiseable.

Thanks zdnet for this instan(t)bul(ls*) article
