Sorry, I've kinda found the answers to my own questions! According to BBC ([news.bbc.co.uk ]) it is indeed going into their IM (By the end of the year? Isn't that a tad ambitious? It is Microsoft, after all!)

(Back to my random questions) Are we now seeing the good 'ole telephone making a triumphant return? I remember the days when a company gave out their address, their phone number, their fax number if they were REALLY technologically minded, and that was it. Then came the Net, and I get the impression the phone was pushed out of the limelight a tad...but are we now going to see, on a website, a list of contact details, including email address (which clicked loads up your email client and sends an email), a website (which clicked loads up the website) and a telephone number (which clicked automatically rings them up and from your speakers boom 'Good afternoon, how can I help you?').

That would be kinda cool.
