Says John Tang, an engineer at Sun Microsystems: "Companies don't feel comfortable sending messages out through their firewalls to a server that somebody else has control over." Besides, says Jennifer Belissent, senior product manager for Sun ONE Instant Messaging, a software package that includes IM, "there is the risk of exposing your...
