Last week I appealed for your help regarding a possible chat functionality inside SharePoint. Eric Schoonover replied that the next version of Windows Messenger (Office Communicator) is supposed to be packaged with SPS web parts that offer all of the functionality we are looking for. Great to hear Eric and tx for the tip. When seeing Mark's post regarding the beta program for Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 which is open for nomination, I of course immediately subscribed. I will keep you informed about this when I start getting the bits.
