Canonical's Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition will include private cloud capabilities, thanks to support for the open source Eucalyptus project, InfoWorld reports. Available for free download on Oct. 29, Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition will introduce Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, an open source cloud computing environment based on the same APIs as Amazon EC2. Users will be able to set up 10 to 15 private servers, leveraging the same capabilities they would use with Amazon, thereby allowing them to take their applications off the Amazon cloud and put them instead into a private cloud, or vice versa

Tech support centers use them more and more commonly with tiered support. The first responders message the more technical folks for answers while they are on the phone with customers.
Yeah. When first tier puts me on hold and then comes back with a completely nonsensical answer to my problem, I always wonder what bizarre chain of typographical errors might have resulted in it. Can these companies not afford phones and extension numbers?

No, not a rare thing. If it's secured, and it's logged, a lot of places use it.
Companies generally don't use free services most likely, but Microsoft has had corporate IM solutions for years, first in Exchange 2000 and now in Live Communications Server. There's OpenFire which is XMPP-based, SSL secured, and logs everything said.

Except of course when it's the corporate instant messaging system. "
True, if they have one. A very rare thing to be sure.
