Microsoft 'Greenwich': Server or service?
eWeek | at | by Mike
While Microsoft's real-time communications server, code-named Greenwich, will follow by several months Microsoft's delivery of its base Windows .Net Server 2003 platform, the software giant's ultimate goal is to make the base Greenwich services part of the Windows "platform."
In addition to the basic SIP communications mechanisms, Microsoft will offer a number of Greenwich applications, such as corporate instant messaging and archiving, and, over time, conferencing functionality that Microsoft currently delivers in its Exchange Conferencing Server product, company executives acknowledged. Greenwich also will include support for "presence," or the ability to determine automatically the state and location of a person or an entity.
