It's intermittent and it's hitting all Live Passport services. -----Original Message----- From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 1:49 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Outage hits Windows Live Hotmail, Messenger users
It's strange... On my home desktop, I couldn't login to Messenger. But on my laptop--sitting right beside my desktop and connected to the same network--I could. And no problem from work, either. I was starting to think maybe it was just a problem with my desktop computer. Glad it's not just me, although it sucks for MS. -----Original Message----- From: Angus Scott-Fleming [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 1:41 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Outage hits Windows Live Hotmail, Messenger users I don't use either, but ... ------- Included Stuff Follows ------- 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? --------- Included Stuff Ends --------- http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1219 ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
