MS Netmeeting vaguely adheres to the H.323 standard for voice-over-IP.
So there's half a chance they're vaguely just re-implementing netmeeting
- in which case .au govt is funding someone to go into competition with MS - always
a good business plan. Gotta wonder whether the business plan for colloqui
involves being bought out by MS in a year, and what sort of return the .au
govt expects to see from that.

Heh. See, the difference is, you could always slap the village idiot in the
stocks and pelt them with rotten fruit...
Question for the more politically-savvy amongst you: Why can't we vote for
who gets what portfolio? Why can't we insist that someone with half a clue
technically be put in charge of the IT portfolio?
