Pros
I don't have to use it at home.
Cons
I've tried using this with clients and have had dropped calls, can't give control to others. Could just be my set-up, but it's a company requirement to use lync and going away from webex. i prefer webex over lync any day.
Summary
ick
This program is Messenger on steroids!

Pros
Many avenues of communication from chatting to video conferencing to sharing your desktop. Great for training or discussions with people who are not all located in the same location. Easy to use.
Cons
Have to setup up meetings beforehand in Outlook and this is only a problem if your business is not using Outlook as it's default mail program.
Summary
I have used this program to quickly as a question of a colleague in another state and have attended training on different topics. The presenter can share their desktop, a whiteboard, conduct a survey - all from within Lync. I love it.
OK, typical Microsoft product

Pros
IM, Video and phone collaboration.
Cons
Conflicts with Webex, Cisco IP Communicator and other products that use microphone and/or headsets. Very prone to errors over VPN.
Summary
Works best if there are no other phone/IM products running.
