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.
