Rumor has it that Microsoft and/or IBM will announce integration between Office Communications Server 2007 and IBM's Lotus Sametime "Unified Telephony" platform at this week's VoiceCon show. If true, this would combine approximately 20 million Sametime users with Microsoft's fast growing OCS 2007 user base creating the largest unified communications user base.
There are ways of getting OCS and Sametime to integrate via 3rd party gateways, however it is somewhat limiting. I don't believe you can do video for instance.
If Sametime and OCS can interoperate and offer IM/presence, voice, and video, that would be HUGE.
