IBM Challenges Microsoft to a Cage Match

Its unified communications meets WWF.
IBM had some serious issues during a live demonstration of its UC technologies at the Enterprise 2.0 conference. Its a presenter’s nightmare. I am sure the stuff works better than that and I assume they even rehearsed the presentation just fine. But, during the actual live presentation all of sudden the bandwidth wasn’t there to deliver a smooth experience. C’est la vie.
IBM rebounded from that experience and moved on to issuing challenges to Microsoft. Basically- IBM says its UC solution is superior to Microsoft’s and its willing to prove it in a head-to-head, mano-a-mano, cage match at VoiceCon in Spring of 2010.
What do you think? Will Microsoft accept the challenge? Can IBM hold its own in a cage match with Microsoft UC?
Perhaps IBM can also get Hulk Hogan for a new marketing campaign?
