Microsoft site?

[SassKwatch]

Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble hitting the MS site tonite. I can't even get to the 'Home' page.(??)

Just to confirm that it's not just you, I can't get to most Microsoft pages, either. Some, such as the Microsoft Office (http://office.microsoft.com/) site, come up just fine, however. Different group of servers, I suspect.

It's not just you. I can't get the homepage, MSDN, Premier or Technet.

I heard that the Blaster virus was supposed to launch a DOS attack on the Windows Update site tomorrow. Maybe that was a head-fake for the big one today.
Or maybe it's related to the power outages. I just assumed that the MS servers are Redmond, so they shouldn't be affected should they?

Hadn't thought to try direct access to the Office site and such. But same here. Can get to the Office site and even Windows Update. But nada when going directly to microsoft.com.

Not working here either. Wonder if MS forgot to apply their own servers 8O :lol:

hehe, works fine for me... maybe DNS probs... but it's real snappy too :D

Working fine for me - although I'm in the UK, I think that our work internet access node is somewhere in the US.

They seem to be a bit preoccupied with the Blaster worm, though - on their main page, just about every link is something to do with it!
