Outage hits Windows Live Hotmail, Messenger users
Windows Live users are reporting on February 26 that they are unable to
access Windows Live Hotmail and Windows Live Messenger, two of Microsoft's
key consumer Internet services.
Microsoft's MSN.com portal also is extremely slow to load.
A number of users on Microsoft's Channel 9 Web site report having been
affected by the outage.
According to one report, the Microsoft Live outage is affecting customers
all across the East Coast. I am an East Coast user and have been unable to
access Hotmail or Live Messenger for the past two hours.
I asked Microsoft for an update on what is happening. Officials said an
update would be forthcoming. Here's the "holding statement" I just got
from a company spokeswoman:
"We are aware that some customers may be experiencing difficulty
accessing their Windows Live accounts. We're actively investigating
the cause and are working to take the appropriate steps to remedy the
situation as rapidly as possible. We sincerely apologize for any
inconvenience and disruption this may be causing our customers."
The spokeswoman said she'd send more details once they were available. So
stay tuned.
Meanwhile, any other Microsoft services or properties you know of that are
affected?
