Microsoft's Live Communication Server software, which offers instant messaging services in a corporate environment, is all set to include inter-operability between MSN IM, Yahoo! Messenger & AOL's Instant Messenger.
Microsoft will pay AOL and Yahoo a royalty for connecting to LCS. The companies declined to elaborate on whether these payments will be based on the number of LCS users connecting to AOL and Yahoo.
However, the three public IM clients will still not connect with one another for public users. Instead, it means corporations that use LCS will allow employees to chat with the Big Three public IM services as well.
