Messaging Pipeline: Radicati Group Calls LCS 2005 "Bold Step Forward"

Chris writes a lot about instant messaging, so this seemed like a good article to highlight.  
LCS = Microsoft Live Communications Server.  The 2005 version is supposed to ship later this year; yet this article seems to indicate that the particular report is written in present tense.  The article covers other interesting analysis by Radicati Group :

Radicati Group expects Microsoft to make serious inroads into the enterprise IM market with this important addition to LCS 2005. To date, LCS has garnered about 18% of the market, according to Radicati's analysis. "We expect that this connectivity, once in place, will help to strongly position LCS as a market leader in enterprise IM, and will increase its market share significantly," the report says, explaining that no one else can provide this type of connectivity.
Are you running LCS?  I find the 18% number pretty surprising, but maybe Carl has seen that level of activity.
