I’m really keen to start using Bing, but like most I have a habit of pumping my search terms into the IE search bar. Never fear the Bing search provider add-in is here
A while back I installed Office Communicator 2007 R2 in an R1 environment and interestingly as other sites suggest you can login and use an R1 OCS server with the R2 client.
A number of things transpired and therefore I would strongly recommend that you avoid this in production.
- As you might expect R2 options are not functional
- Office Communicator Phone edition was no longer able to login
- Enterprise Messenger for BlackBerry was also unable to login
- There may be more issues that I have not been able to re-produce
Logic suggests that after logging into an OCS R1 server with the R2 client, a number of database updates are automatically applied. This can be reversed by deleting and re-creating the OCS profile. Curious people should avoid, avoid and avoid! [:)]

This will no doubt allow Microsoft to compete the Linux based platforms, like Asus’s custom Xandros distribution. A really good call of you ask me!
Other Windows 7 starter features to NOT be included:

Praise for Windows 7 just keeps growing and growing, the innovation in user interface and the increased overall performance is outstanding. Hot hardware have posted a review on SSD performance and again the results speak for themselves!
