Essentially calling desktop telephones useless antiques, Microsoft's Gurdeep Singh Pall on Wednesday called on VoiceCon attendees to ditch the desk phone in favor of a software-based VoIP system.

During his keynote address, Pall detailed Microsoft's vision for VoIP and unified communications, built on Microsoft Office Communication Server 2007 and the February debut of OCS Release 2, while also taking a few jabs at the competition.
