It is nice if you write it in more detail, for a beginner, it is hard to understand what is pidgin, what is the “add couple of sources”, just saying ! but great stuff

Sorry…didn’t say it was perfect but chatting works as you say and I don’t typically use the other features. Thanks for the comment!

Also Bharani, you can try Ekiga (http://ekiga.org/) for Linux. it has all the features of MS office communicator.

Hi Bharani,

Its not possible to run Office communicator in Linux at all. The method suggested here allows only to chat but not use all the features of office communicator. I feel its better to switch to Windows 7.

I want Office Communicator 2007 to work with Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 11. I have tried using wine, but it asked no XML is available. But XML 6 is installed by wine.

Here it seems to work on ubuntu(debian) please suggest me for configuring the same in SUSE Linux. (RPM) based. It is a needed requirement for us. Please help to make Office Communicator to work on Suse Linux.
