MSN Messenger Outage
I was wondering why my MSN Messenger wouldn't logon today. Well apparently, I wasn't the only one experiencing an outage with MSN Messenger.
Microsoft confirmed today that a "significant" number of its MSN Messenger users have been experiencing intermittent outages for about a day.
Microsoft remained vague on the nature of the outage, blaming it on an "isolated issue that we've located in the data center," according to a company spokeswoman and would not elaborate on when service would be restored. Microsoft said the outage is affecting MSN Messenger users across many countries, but Microsoft would not disclose the number of users affected.
This latest outage comes just days after security monitors discovered the Bropia worm was using MSN Messenger to spread. The Microsoft spokeswoman denied the outage was caused by the worm.

Posted by: Joe Churno at February 8, 2005 10:26 PMWhy are you using MSN Messenger in the first place? There are so many better IM clients than MSN Messenger, such as ICQ or GAIM.
Ditch MSN Messenger. It's worse than IE when it comes to security problems!

Posted by: MSN Outage at February 15, 2005 10:42 PMMSN Messenger had an outage this past Friday. Couldn't get in all day long. Might be time to switch to ICQ with all of these outages MSN Messenger seems to have. Maybe because Microsoft is a target for hackers?
