Microsoft OCS Futures: Quick, everyone, wait two years!

I was reading through Michael Osterman's summary of Microsoft's INTERACT08 UC-focused event, and one bullet stuck out for me in particular:

Microsoft admitted that it needs to do a better job at offering voicemail survivability and provide a better means of maintaining function in the event of a loss of connection to the data center, perhaps providing backup capabilities via the public switched telephone network (PSTN). These issues will be addressed in Office Communications Server (OCS) 2010.

Really?  Wait two more years for voicemail survivability and assurances that I won't lose my phone system due to a connection problem with the data center?

I guess this is why we're seeing so many people interested in working with us and our telephony, audio and video partners - people that have proven solutions in market today.
