Today, at an event in New York City, we announced Microsoft Teams—the new chat-based workspace in Office 365. Microsoft Teams is an entirely new experience that brings together people, conversations and content—along with the tools that teams need—so they can easily collaborate to achieve more. It’s naturally integrated with the familiar Office applications and is built from the ground up on the Office 365 global, secure cloud. Starting today, Microsoft Teams is available in preview in 181 countries and in 18 languages to commercial customers with Office 365 Enterprise or Business plans, with general availability expected in the first quarter of 2017.

I currently have a SfB client. Does Teams federate or interop with my current client?

Thanks for the post Christopher.
I'm looking for the same thing regarding whether Teams can federate with SfB.
Any updates from anyone else?

1) Teams and SfB users in the same org can send messages to each other. There are some topology limitations here though so please wait for your company admin communication
2) No presence interop in this release
3) No cross app meeting join in this release
4) Lync/SfB onPrem/online isn't required for teams client/product to function. No EV in this release; SfB is your go-to client for reaching PSTN numbers
