IBM, Microsoft Collide on Collaboration
Category None
An article in eWeek IBM, Microsoft Collide on Collaboration talks about Microsoft and IBMs collaboration offerings. What's interesting is the article is kind of confused, they seem to combine bits of Workplace with bits of the other Lotus offerings, but the paragraph that really got me attention is this
I hope IBM isn't claiming our product is theirs, I don't know of any IBM software that is doing this for Office, but I know of our products that do
(for Outlook 200, XP and 2003), also we don't do it for Workplace just for Sametime.

Both companies support contextual collaboration in their latest releases, with IBM one-upping Microsoft by supporting presence information in all versions of Microsoft Office rather than just Office 2003, which Microsoft supports.

2) I haven't done any interviews with eWeek, so it wasn't me. But what I suspect might have been said to the reporter is that IBM's Office integration features work with all current releases, not just XP. This might have been extrapolated out by the reporter...if the whole article is "kind of confused", then isn't it reasonable to apply that to the statement that bothers you as well?
