             Last I saw, the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) was being
    championed exclusively by Microsoft and everyone else was using the IETF
    standard XMPP. Moreover, most of the Microsoft SIP products were -- last
    time I looked -- hardly what you'd call ready for prime-time.

             Heck, 99.9% of the literature I've seen on SIP is little but a
    valentine that Microsoft wrote to itself. And I'm being nice here.

             The most recent news on the subject that I've seen indicated that
    Microsoft planned a release on December 1st for the latest version of its
    server software which (and I quote) "aims to give companies more secure
    instant messaging and other corporate communications tools."

             *ahem* Microsoft offering a "secure" service? That'll be a
    refreshing change from the usual MS-malware fare.
