                      cant believe they're down, you'd think they'd have about 100 backup servers connected to to at least a few different ISP backbones

                                      i think it's cool the world needs more examples of how much microsoft sucks. then more people will use linux. then more developers will write new games for linux, and i'll be able to get rid of windows for good, because games is the only thing windows has going for it IMHO.

                                            hm. are you sure YOU aren't the one missing the point? *WHY* is the site down? *WHY* is the main website of a billion dollar corporation who MAKES operating systems and wishes to eventually dominate the current backbone of the internet (UNIX) down for even 5 minutes, let alone the time it has been down today?

                                            Ok, look at it this way: You meet a chick with bad oral hygene...just imagine what it's like down between her legs.

                                                  Stop crying. This isn't a Microsoft sucks thing, I just don't see why anyone would care that their site is down. It's not like it won't be up and running again. It's non-news, a non-event. Again, big fucking deal.

                                                    not me, though if I used microsoft software I'd be fucking worried.

                                                      If I relied on microsoft software for a living I'd be damn worried... or you don't think it's an issue?

                                                        Yeah, right. I think we both know what url was coming next. I like to think of this as what our current administration calls "a preemptive strike".

                                                            Microsoft is like TV Evangelists...

                                                            Do as I say, not as I do.

                                                            Case 1:

                                                            Microsoft urged customers to fix a vulnerability in the SQL Server 2000 software, but it apparently hadn't taken its own advice.

                                                            Case 2:

                                                            Proving again that it doesn't practice what it preaches, Microsoft on Thursday confirmed that the Code Red worm infected servers used for its Hotmail Web-based e-mail service. This isn't the first time that Microsoft has neglected to install its own security patch.

                                                            Case 3:

                                                            Microsoft made itself vulnerable to attacks and outages by setting up its four DNS servers on one subnet.

I care about the one call I made to them last year, after my system crashed and I had to reformat and reinstall Windows. I ran into a small glitch in the registration process, which held me up for 4 hours the first night on the phone with my warranty tech support guy, and an extra 5 hours the next day while on the phone with HP, then MS, then back to HP, both of whom wanted $35 before they would fucking help me.

Good thing I told MS and Hewlett-Packard to shove their $35 fee where the sun don't shine.
