Microsoft.com is down?

December 13, 2007 by Wayne Small 2 Comments

I have ISA monitoring connections for my servers at the data center and at around 7am this morning they told me they could not get to www.microsoft.com. Ok – I thought – must be something playing up there. I then started to hear reports from other SBS MVPs that the MS news servers were down. Hmm – the reports are now coming in from a number of geographically dispersed locations that indeed Microsoft.com is unreachable. I’m wondering at this point if they are under some form of Denial of Service attack as it’s now been over an hour and they can’t be reached from many different points. Interesting to say the least.

    Sounds more like to me that everyone and their machines are downloading the Service Packs for Office 2007. Maybe all those automated updates are causing a self induced denial of service of Microsoft? Wouldn’t that be a turn for the books?
