It's due for release in early 2016 apparently but in the meantime, Lync 2011 is basically Skype For Business.

Getting better the more we use it

Skype for business is fantastic when it works. You can easily share presentations and hear people clearly. When it works, it is very good and our preferred program. It took a while to get used to it though. In some cases, it was unstable and the participant would lose audio and the program would constantly reconnect. It appears to be dependent on the strength of your wireless signal and if it is a bit low, you can lose connection. It also depends a bit on the device. The best device I have used is my iPad. My iPhone and computer are somewhat less reliable but now work most of the time. The iPad has worked every time. The most confusing part is that for some of my colleagues, Skype works but Business Skype acts buggy. Huh? That makes no sense but it is real as the original Skype appears to be more stable. We will continue to work with the program as the bugs continue to go away but be prepared for some frustration at the beginning.

Step 1: Connect Sony XDCAM Camcorder to Mac After shooting, remove the SxS card from camcorder and place it in the express slot of laptop; or attach the camcorder (with the SxS card still inside) to the computer via the supplied USB cable and turn the camera power switch to the Media position. Both methods require Final Cut Studio and Sony XDCAM Transfer Software (a free download from Sony).

Slow! Needs more features.

First problem: I rely on the 'Conversation History' folder in Outlook to find *all* of my SfB chats, not just the ones I happened to have on my Windows PC. It stinks that this app can't sync those and add them to my mailbox folder somehow. Microsoft decides the features put into Exchange Online, Skype for Business Server 2015, and this SfB mobile app; there is no reason that they can't make it work.
Second problem: The app is *slow*. People's presence information takes 30 seconds, or usually several minutes, to update. That should not happen. It's instantaneous in the Windows app. Same sort of delays happen with changing my presence (status), changing forwarding settings, etc. Makes the app unusable. It's faster to use RDP and access the client through my Windows PC remotely!
Third problem: When I'm placing a new call, why disable the speakerphone button?! This app requires that the call be connected first, and then I can enable speaker. But, that requires that the other party wait on me before the conversation can begin. Microsoft misses details like this. Stupid. One example of many quality problems with their software.

Glaring Flaw

There are several problems with his application, such as messages only being received on your iPhone, watch, or desktop, but never all three. This is problematic when you start a conversation from your phone but then don’t see the replies until you get back your desktop.
However, the number one issue with the app is that the mute button only works about 25% of the time. If you’re in a call you can press the button and it looks like it works, but the microphone doesn’t actually switch on or off. And you don’t actually know if it’s broken until it’s your turn to speak. The only way to fix it is to quit the app and re-join the meeting, and even then it doesn’t always fix the problem. This is extremely annoying when other meeting participants, and especially executives, are always waiting for you.
