OCS is the only product that integrates with Exchange - well Outlook really. Its bloat is because of its target market - those who need to keep track off all messages for compliance reasons. If you just want chat without keeping a record and you can drop the Outlook integration, then there are plenty of alternatives available, some of them open source.
