MSN Instant messenger has now been down for a full 7 days. For the first 4 Microsoft did not even make it known that there was a problem. I am curious to see how this has effected you and what you think the implications are for .Net and confidence in Microsoft Microsoft as an Application Service provider in general. Quote:

Interesting article, but why did you post this in Programming/Scripting?

I could also have gone in OS, but I felt that putting it there would have been just flame material for the MS/Linux battle. ------------------ Life is complex. It has real and imaginary parts. [This message has been edited by Moridin (edited July 09, 2001).]

And if there's one thing we don't need, it's more of those ![]() It's pretty worrying really. The article says it all, it puts the whole viability of .NET under the spotlight. It's all well and good to say "we'll use the web as a platform", but this isn't the Starship Enterprise. Stuff does break, networks are unreliable and l33t d00ds are trying to own you. In the long term, it might work, but there is a saying warning against putting all of your eggs in one basket. |

Mordrin, is MSN IM still down?
This does not bode well at all of MS. AOL, ICQ, and Yahoo! seem to all have been able to keep their IM's up with minimal disruption, one would think that the same would go with MS, especially considering the importance of said service to their future looking plans... (Mental note, read more about .NET....) ------------------ "Being disintegrated makes me ve-ry an-gry!" <huff, huff> Become one of the few, the proud, the SETI Team @ SE.
