That's odd, in my office that's not the case. The work units that were logged prior to the down time are working fine. Maybe they are just experiencing some sort of lag, and will also be down very shortly.
Funny thing happened though. I have been received the Automatic update alert for ages and have constantly managed to ignore it. As soon as my MSN was down I assumed it was something with my connection and the first thing I did was upgrade MSN. I wonder how many of you did the same.
Hmm, strange. I was logged in when people started to talk about the MSN was down, and tried to write to people but I couldn't send a single one. And after I logged out, I couldn't login again
I have updated the messenger as well but still can't sign in. Service status says that all system are up and running though.
If your account (MSN/Hotmail) is on one of the down servers, than you wont be able to login. That is why people in other countries can login, but a fair amount of people especially in the US and some parts of Canada can't get in..
