I have had this video bookmarked for a while but finally got round to watching it today. Wow!

Great video showing the future of integrated collaboration

In this video we can see Microsoft Office Communicator in all it’s glory.  I particularly liked:

• the seamless escalation between collaboration modes, from IM to Phone, to Video, to Virtual Meeting
• the integration of presence and Outlook calendar
• the ability to easily search AD for a contact and instantly have all the same services available that you would have for a person on your buddy list
• the high levels of integration with Office,  ie all the features available where ever you see a persons name
• the fact that line of business apps are leveraging that same integration where ever you see a person as well (contextual collaboration)
• the federation to public infrastructure services, Yahoo, MSN and AOL
• the enterprise class security

Make sure you check this video out and you will be very excited about some of the things that are on the horizon.
