The MacBU team said that “one focus of Office for Mac 2011 was to integrate real-time communication features into Office applications like Word and PowerPoint and we expect that effort to continue. The Communicator for Mac includes a built-in Live Meeting functionality, according to Microsoft officials announcement earlier this year.
In March, the Messenger for Mac 8 beta was launched, with support for video calls with other Windows Live users. This does not change much for Windows Live users who will continue to use Messenger for Mac, but it will make a big difference for Office Communications Server (aka Lync) users, who will begin using the new Communicator for Mac.
MacBU announced yesterday on the Microsoft Mactopia blog, the launch of a new partner application called Communicator for Mac.
