Microsoft takes on phone giants

[Sneeky]

Microsoft Corp announced plans to make a broad push into the business-telephone market, including desktop phones and videoconferencing devices designed by Microsoft and sold by partners, with some available as soon as June 2007.

The plan sets the stage for Microsoft to take on other giants, such as Cisco Systems Inc, Avaya Inc and Nortel Networks Inc, in the industry march to replace traditional phone systems with more flexible and cheaper internet technologies.

I wonder how many times a day will your phone crash, so that you need to reboot it.

The new Microsoft Frog phone's ringtone "Reboot!" "Reboot!" "Reboot!"

Wonder how many virus and trojan-related problems will there be with these?

Illegal alien Nigerians will soon be stealing your accounts and ringing premium numbers in Vanuatu all night long! But the software will be able easily to "phone home" to Redmond every week to check that it is properly licensed!
