Have you looked into adding instant messaging to your environment? MOCS is great, but you could go Open Source and setup a Jabber server and use a free client like Pidgen.

Are there free alternatives to the old "NET SEND" command that could be sent from a Vista workstation to multiple Windows XP workstations such that a free form message could be displayed to the end user at the remote XP or Vista workstation? So far our only thought was a vbs script that could echo a statement sent to it via psexec from the Vista machine. Is there a 'better way?'
