Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 is the new integrated communications application, and is the best client for Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005.

It also enables PC-to-phone integration.
Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 Service Pack is an update to Microsoft's award-winning real-time communications platform. The service pack includes support for Communicator, enhanced "spam over IM" controls, and enterprise-grade connectivity from an LCS enterprise to the MSN, AOL and Yahoo! public IM networks. Live Communications Server provides enterprise IM and an enterprisewide presence engine.
Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2005, a major update to Microsoft's popular Web conferencing service, helps users conduct effective online meetings and collaborative sessions without having to be in the same place at the same time. Key enhancements include the industry's first integrated conference call controls for leading audioconferencing service providers, the ability to have a Live Meeting session from Office applications, and availability in seven new language versions.
