You are a MS apologist aren't you!!!
Considering you declared that Apple should not have released Ping because of some failures of iTunes to handle some invite requests when flooded with massive uptake of the new service - yet you say this when MS has many outages affecting many many users.
I experienced a problem on Monday when obtaining licence key for a user, I gave up after several hours and left it for the user to handle the next day.
I have not screamed about an outage - I was put out and had time wasted, and the user's time wasted - but I do not make stupid statements like 'MS should not have released office because their online server could not generate the key for some time'.
You do make such stupid statements about Apple - then try to spin MS's outage as a fast response when they have had multiple outages.
I used to be in a position where an online outage of 14 seconds was sufficient reason for my clients to ask for a written explanation - and this was in a 3 person start-up.
MS is not a 3 person start-up - and yet you consider several hours on several occasions to be good response time?
It clearly wasn't good response time, and they have made mistakes in upgrading services - I give them credit for trying though.
Look - just pretend it was an Apple outage - and then blast them!!! You'll feel better for it.
