'''Lync 2010''' is Microsoft's real-time instant messaging and telephony platform. It supports both software and hardware based (known as Lync Phone Edition) clients, and uses SIP on the backend.

System requirements for Lync: (to be determined? unlike Exchange, Microsoft has basically wiped themselves clean of Lync and most of it never got archived)
