There's not much in the article so only click through if super
interested but I'm curious and looking for people's opinions.

 

What application integration would you like to see between MS (either
Office or other aspects of the vista/xp OS) and Asterisk. Apart from
dial from outlook and number pop I'm kind of curious what other
functionality there is to be developed (I'd also like to see drop and
drag from outlook into conference calls.

 

 

 

What would you like to see in asterisk, if we get some solid responses
we'll see about organizing some bounties to get it developed.

Unified messaging would be nice. Not just having my VM's e-mailed to me, but
to be able to manage them from with Outlook (or any other mail client for
that matter) would be nice. I picture it sort of like an IMAP mailbox, and
the mail client just has some kind of functionality to recognize that the
message is a VM and not a mail message (so it could display length,
date/time received, CID, and provide a "play" button).

Just my two cents.

Everyone here is saying how it would be so great to have native 
desktop/outlook/exchange/etc support, but seriously, do you really think M$ 
is going to develop these products to use with the open source market? 
They're going to want to try monopolizing it and creating an environment 
where you need to use M$ VoIP products to take advantage of to try forcing 
users to buy their products like they do with everything else.
