Re: Major Microsoft Outage
Don't tell me Microsoft has yet again fecked up an update, do they not test stuff like this before they set the world on fire.

Re: Major Microsoft Outage
My daughter is a teacher in a local primary school, year 1 so 5-6 year olds. She messaged me this morning saying that the entire school's on its knees.
Registers can’t be submitted to the LEA, which apparently is a legal requirement and more importantly emails from parents regarding pick ups don't go through; <insert kid's name here> states that ‘I’m going home with <insert other kid’s name here> mum today’. Err, without confirmation that this is actually true, is really problematic. Hence the school office having to make many phone calls to parents to check this.

Re: Major Microsoft Outage
Maybe the school needs to review how it works, this should never bring it to its knees.
We had a few email issues at work, i.e. just a few delays on external emails, Teams was working fine.

Can you tell me categorically that this is all just coincidence ? if you answer no to that then you do not know if what I have said has happened or not. Your belief that I am being paranoid is just that with no proof to back it up

Re: Major Microsoft Outage
<smug>Never noticed.</smug> I ditched Micro$oft Word ages ago in favour of OpenOffice, and now LibreOffice (though I do tend to save files in .doc format, to be fair), and I've never used Outlook. Contrary to Micro$oft's vision of itself, it is not key to the world. We can do without - and if they ever carry out that mad plan to make Windows a subscription deal, we will.
As it is, I still have my spare laptop running Windows 10 - it complains occasionally about antivirus updating and that it can't update Chrome.
Well, of course it can't. It has never been online, and never will be.  Its chances of picking up a virus are the same as Trump getting a clue. Meteorite strikes or the National Lottery are more likely.
