Upside.Com reports that one of the problems Microsoft has experienced with its ongoing Internet Messenger outage is that not one, but two sets of backup systems had faulty disk controllers, and a Microsoft spokesman is quoted as saying, “…we have had to go to our third level of backup to restore the service and retrieve customer data, [so] this process has taken longer than we had hoped.”
Gee, I can’t wait for .Net so Microsoft can manage all of my data!
