Windows Messenger with SIP on Vista OS

[Guest]

Hi,

The windows messenger 5.1 has the feature of SIP but unfortunetely it can't
be installed on Vista business edition.

Is there any version of Windows Messenger or any "Add-on" which will work on
Vista Business with SIP facility??? Understanding that we were able to run
5.1 on WindowsXP.

Hello,

I think, for Vista, you'll have to use Office Communicator
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/communicator/FX101729051033.aspx .

Hi,

Actually Communicator isn't a good option here because you need to have a CAL for it and its
designed to only work with Live Communications Server. The previous SIP integration in
Windows Messenger 5.1 allowed all kinds of SIP devices and services.
