- dijit 8y agoAnd before that: Office Communicator. They really are distinct products, it's "skype" by name only. Office Communicator/Lync/SfB is really designed for companies to run themselves, there's tangential support for federation (as in, it exists, but it's a complete and utter nightmare for administering) there's no support for blocking contacts and by default the entire "local" directory is available. In fact, I'm not even sure if you can configure it not to expose all your users to every other user. It's a /completely/ different product, that fact cannot be understated.
