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

Correct, your data being inaccessible isn't the same as being Scroogled (per MS)

You could argue that it's MORE secure if even you can't access it. But I wouldn't argue that.

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 ...

You're really reaching now.

It'll be interesting to find out the root cause, assuming it ever comes out. Malice or stupidity? Did someone do an oops within the Outlook team (or some other team), or are they under attack?

I've heard from people know that an AD GPO was pushed causing firewalls to refuse DNS requests, which would fit in line with what everyone was/is seeing.

I especially loved their status page during the outage: current health CRM No issues Exchange No issues Identity Service No issues Lync No issues Office 365 Portal No issues Office Subscription No issues Rights Management Service No issues SharePoint No issues

That's an executive console.
