I agree that SIP is the future, it just isn't there yet. There is some SIP being built into Unity and CM, but until everything is SIP (as opposed to MGCP/H.323 and Skinny), it just isn't useful yet.
I know that SIP is being deployed in SP networks, and I have implemented it in a Telco, but for enterprise, it's useless. I can't wait til it is developed and more mature.
