Microsoft committed to IM interoperability

eWeek | at | by Mike

Microsoft's instant messaging architect Paul Haverstock stated the case for messaging interoperability at the opening keynote address of the Instant Messaging Planet Spring 2004 Conference and Expo here Wednesday.

Haverstock, one of the original developers and former general manager for the Lotus Sametime IM product, said messaging would become as ubiquitous as e-mail is today and would enhance most business applications once a common standard of interoperability between the various corporate and public networks was reached.
