Did not face any issue. Anyway good to see that it has been fixed fully.

I’m not sure that’s the flex you were going for? With all that money you’d think they would do better with SLAs.

They're also not a billion dollar company. They're a three trillion dollar one. The strange part is they didn't used to have these issues, so clearly some engineering decisions have been made that is causing this.

MS measures their outages by the hour. An outage even once a month isn't a big deal.View attachment 2409942

To be fair, these are not outages, those are advisories. Like every provider, Microsoft has issues, but they very rarely have "the system is fully down" problems.

I'm guessing it's partly from spending money on stock buybacks instead of servers, which increases the price of shares, which Tim loves because he gets paid in a salary plus stock.
