Thanks for doing that AMA!

Two questions:

• I keep mixing up Lync (your product) and Linq (from C#)... Which one was first and why didn't the other one pick a more distinct name?
• I very much appreciate the idea of unified communication. However, I think that unified communication basically should mean unified but open communication standards, to enable every last product to jump on the same bandwagon and actually unify something instead of adding another single (proprietary) solution to the pool of incompatible approaches. How could this be accomplished by Microsoft (of all companies)? Don't confuse this for the age-old open-source-everything-demand. You should earn your money with your implementation. But what other way are you trying to go if not that of open protocols and standards?

Thanks for your time!
