I live in Montreal, Canada. My hotmail has been out for several hours.
…somewhere on mars
“Will somebody stop playing around and turn my email back on!!!”
“Earthlings always ruining it for us martians”.
yes it’s been effecting me for the past 5 hours. It is disgraceful, what if people have important information they need to access from their email account? Another concern is whether or not email sent while the service is down will bounce or if it will be available when the service is up and running again.
My non-updated-to-Live friend is fine and I’m getting punished for having upgraded
Hotmail connection in Costa Rica has been difficult all this morning and early afternoon.

Your email service is sub par. Get it together.
Its strange to see users of a *free* service whining on the outage. If you have important stuff, get a PoP account.
please get it up and running fast, as i have important stuff i need to get out of my email.\
if this ever happens again i reckon there should be a alternative so people can still access their emails,
not that im complaining because it is free!!!! And thats GREAT, because nothink these days are free anymore….

Jesus guys give them a break , think about it , windows live messenger caters for hundreds of thousands of people , possibly millions , it cant be expected to run smoothly all the time ffs
It’s back up and running now anyway , so just chillax,
Not only that- ,but script disappears (even paragraphs)when writing mail in Vista. It is happening to lot’s of people- and is nothing new. The ‘help’ links sent by Microsoft folks do nothing to help. It seems like thousands of ‘primo’25 y.o.software designers paid up the yin-yang- could have come up w/something that works. I went to G-mail. : (
