Although MS claims for SIP standards compliance, their UM products are
still using proprietary protocols. I can't register my x-lite with an
LCS or use the MS communicator together with my SER proxy. So it's all
or nothing, either you're an MS shop from A to Z or you can't really use
their UM offerings.
Tom Keating has written a nice article about that:
