Anyone tried Microsoft's UC?

I stumbled across this while reading NetworkWorld Magazine: http://www.microsoft.com/voip

I was wondering anyone has messed with this at all. So have any of you? How well does it integrate with your PBX? Anyone tried it with Asterisk?

I have yet to download the beta of OCS, but I am interested.

I've seen it -- Very neat feature. Integration of phone and email. I was at the conference when they demoed it. Exchange 2007. You kinda need VOIP, but you can use a gateway if you're not VOIP.

Listen to VM in email
Call Exchange system for Appointments and contacts.

Again, very awesome -- but I think i'll wait for next Gen when they streamline it a little better. Exchange 2007 server now can have 5 different roles (FINALLY!)
