My current employer (a Fortune 500 tech company not based in Silicon Valley or Redmond) also uses Microsoft Lync, which added comprehensive conferencing and screen sharing to the instant messaging functionality of MS Communicator. Plus it integreates into all of the MS Office apps. Before Lync, our standard tool for two years was Live Meeting. And before Live Meeting, we used Meeting Place. Lync is clearly the nicest of the three, but one would expect that since it is also the newest of the three by several years.
