Comment 8 for bug 1070377

That is a shame. It means those of us who work at home don't have a well-integrated SIPE solution with newer versions of Ubuntu. It's hard to argue for switching to Linux desktops when they don't provide access to required work IM solutions.

For the record, Empathy supported the pidgin SIPE plugin in the past, because I personally used it for at least a year before upgrading to Quantal. So if it is no longer supported, then the functionality was removed.
