Just remember - they're the same ones now touting 5 9's capability. Quick
check says that, based on yesterdays outage, and assuming MS stays up 24x7
rest of the year, they'll hit 99.8% uptime.
Here's a story on MS's rationale for the outage:

Hm. They're changing the DNS configuration, and they didn't have the old
system on standby, ready to take over ASAP if the first fails? Have these
guys EVER worked in a major data center (and yes, it's a rhetorical question)?
(and they seem to be up to me).
