Office Communications Server 2010: Beta is coming closer

The much anticipated release of Office Communication Server is coming closer!

As soon as it´s on my hard drive I´ll install it in UClarity´s live demo environment
You can expect a blog post on how to integrate Office Communication Server 2010, Exchange Server 2010, SharePoint Server 2010. Until then, read more about the upcoming beta release at TMCnet.com:

“The highly anticipated Microsoft (News – Alert) Office Communications Server 2010 is set to release for the last calendar quarter of 2010, but the company had promised a beta version for testers by the end of March. As captured in this ZDnet blog, that projected date may be optimistic.

Microsoft officials are now saying the beta version of its Unified Communications (News – Alert) ‘Wave 14’ suite may be ready by early April and now those wanting to get their hands on the release are left wondering exactly when to expect a demo”
