Microsoft Versus Avaya

The software giant is again brewing some new products that will totally be a sold-out to Microsoft-loving freaks. Perhaps, this is to prove that President Bill Gates won't entirely leave the company for good because he's starting new projects for the company before he focuses on his philanthropic deeds. However, this new project can get the company into trouble with two of its business partners--- Avaya and Cisco.

The communications road map project by the company will soon be commercialized sometime in 2007. This will allow users to get information and guide communications from new devices integrated in their old ones. The private branch exchanges (PBX) will be used for centralized office phones through the usual technologies in networking. But the representatives from the multi-billion company said that they're not actually competing with their two partners, since MS-based PBX has a different function from the ones created by Avaya and Cisco. Apparently, the new product offers few features and is focused on small and medium-sized businesses. Furthermore, large-scale companies that prefer wide-breadth of unified communications can choose either Avaya or Cisco products. Personally, I think morons should not fuss about the Microsoft's new projects that much because it's the consumers who'll choose the products that they want to use.
