Seems like Cisco is on course to become a major player in the messaging space. I'm curious if they can end the Microsoft/IBM enterprise duopoly. Also interesting how Cisco will interact with the OpenSource community.
It gets interesting.

Which duopoly? Aren't there a few other players in the messaging space with a significant installed base?
