The MS Unified Communications products,
http://microsoft.com/uc ,of which MS Office Communicator and Office Communicator Server are parts, are developed on a separate
schedule from the Office Suite and its related server products. Historically, the MS Office Suites seem to almost always have
something "in the box" that wasn't part of the core product line :)

As mentioned, you may want to post your question in the Office Communicator newsgroup on where they are with their final release.
