How do I keep IT from forcing Windows Lync on me?

michaeltech

My company rolled out Lync, so now IT wants me to use Windows, because there is no MS Linux Lync client. I see some people use Pidgin for Lync chat, but it's just chat. I don't want to switch to Windows just for Lync. Does someone know a good workaround?

Not free. Need to pay $49 (One off? A year?)

Thank you very much for this, I had no idea this existed. I just took it for a spin and it works well. I am in the same boat as the OP and the only way I have been getting by was using Lync on my Android Tablet.
