Office communicator

Is there any news on office communicator for Windows 7?

I know mate, its highly dissapointing that theres no OCS client - I used to use it on my TP2 all the time and am seriously contemplating going back to one.

As far as i'm aware (from reporting by wmpoweruser.com) - Microsoft have no plans to create an Office Communicator client Apparantly they are focusing all they're efforts on the new Lync server client for WP7 - which means your infrastructure will need to be upgraded to Lync server before you can use the client (as and when its available)

Highly dissapointed also about this, as a work tool I can't believe microsoft ain't even supporting they're own products! - Saying that even exchange policies aren't fully enforced!!!

Android has office talk.... works perfectly....

Can some of the developpers not give it a shot....

would def pay for it....

There will be a OCS client. This one will be based on Lync (the new OCS server) and comes with the next major update ("Mango"). The next minor update will be in Q1/2011.

ok but would that be compatible with 2007 version?

No, the Office Communicator 2007 products are not compatible with Microsoft Lync and vis-versa, they expect that by the time WP7 get's the Lync client that all the OCS Customers will have upgraded to it by then.

Was trying to log in via https website. Did not work out because wp7 does not work with pop ups. Is there a way to do this? Use pop ups?

ROFLMAO - Yeah, lets upgrade our OCS infrastructure for the sake of a few windows phone 7 devices....I can really see our management team falling for that one

The reason OCS 2007 will never ever be running on WP7 is that there is no NTLM support atm.

Lync 2010...

I'll just say this - I am using Lync client and the company has moved to Lync 2010 backend... it is, I kid you not, a VERY good upgrade. If your IT department has no plans to upgrade they are missing out.

1. Meeting conferencing in app is much improved - no more need for LiveMeeting
2. Presence updates are much improved
3. More social functionality
4. Better Filtering
5. Better VoIP integration

It is quite a bit better as a product. Plus, you can do one click dialing from all links in IE - you see a phone number the new add in recognizes the number and you just click an icon... it's all pretty nice .

Me personally I don't want any UI that looks like OCS - Lync is way better.
