Re: microsoft lync 2010 Vs Call manager

Ya know... I'll say the same thing about that as I did about Cisco's
CallManager when it was on a Windoze platform....

If you stick your voice servers onto a network accessible to/from the
Internet, and don't pay attention to things like that, you deserve to
have that machine get a virus!

There are plenty of solutions out there even outside of sane network
design that will help out. So don't go using that as an excuse, it's a
stupid one. Ranks right up there with the "smart" people who believe
that Mac's don't get viruses.
