  • Subject: microsoft 99.9999

after the last few days of Microsoft's print/tv ad campaign about 99.999% reliability, I decided to check out the details of the story.
At 7am est this morning http://www.microsoft.com/ site was "not available". Anybody know-is it the power, a hack, or did they return to the 94% uptime?
BTW- that 99.999 is based on a lot of premium server hardware, and seems to be based only on a few selected customers, not the general population.
