Heavens above, almost an hour! After all, this is certainly a problem right up there with world poverty, the situation in the Middle East, etc. How dare they take almost an hour to let people using a free service know that there might be an issue with it?

:p

MSN Messenger being down is not the end of the world. The MSN team not letting everyone know that there is a problem with it is not the end of the world. The amount of wailing that goes on (not necessarily on this forum, happens much worse on other forums) every time the MSN service is unavailable always amazes me - I want to see what would happen if MSN and other programs like it, MySpace and similar websites, and YouTube all went down at the same time. I reckon if you could harness the power of all the whinging and turn it into electricity you'd have enough to power Los Angeles for six minutes....

I never said they had any responsibility to ensure it is updated the minute MSN dies. You said it was the best place to check out first but if they do take anything up to an hour, it is in fact probably not the best place to check first to see if MSN is working, or do you disagree?

That's all I was getting at.

Yeah, I was hoping that the :p would let you know I wasn't being entirely serious when I made that post :) Of course I would agree that if the Service Status page isn't updated reasonably quicklythen it's about as useful as a chocolate teapot. But I don't think up to an hour is a particularly huge problem.
 
MSN works byt not my hotmail at the moment. I just got a message (from OCUK of all people) but it won't let me read it. :( ;)

I know what it will be though, one of those hideous clashing newsletters with writing almost impossible to identify from the background. :p
