It looks like a lot of their other services are down too. Edit: Also, the Xbox One is launching tonight so if their Live servers are down...it won't be pretty.

Xbox Live is down. Just posted on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/xbox/comments/1r6axx/anyone_else_not...

What a bad time for this to happen for Microsoft. It's almost too badly timed for it to be a coincidence, if I were an attacker with access to Microsoft's DNS' this would be the perfect time to launch an attack.

I have no problem accessing Outlook.com, Office 365, Skydrive, or any other Microsoft website. The problem many be regional...or it may be with your ISP.

There's a lot more than one person complaining on twitter. I've seen reports from New Zealand, Kansas, my linode in Dallas, Oregon, etc.

Australia too.

Who's scroogled now? http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/cat/Scroogle... This is so embarrassing.

this has nothing to do with the scroogled campaing though...

Maybe if Microsoft wasn't wasting its time trying to spread slurs about competitors, it could actually spend that time creating interesting software, building viable new products, and making sure it doesn't f*ck up its own DNS records. Or maybe someone's making that point for them ...

Yeah, dropping all your NS records from your domain will do that; $ dig NS outlook.com ; > DiG 9.9.3-rpz2+rl.13214.22-P2-Debian-1:9.9.3.dfsg.P2-4 > NS outlook.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER

SERVFAIL doesn’t mean they dropped the records (that would be NXDOMAIN). It does mean their nameservers aren’t responding.
