Its almost 9 hours I am seeing Microsoft.com Down and Out from the WWW (as I am seeing from my office/pinged -> no host found)! When I first noticed I posted this tweet from my office (thinking must be some error in my Windows powered sys):
Till now I am not able to access any of Microsoft’s site which includes dozens of top rated services including Microsoft Help and Support, Windows Update, Office Online, and plenty more. As I guess there should be a DNS error that caused its temporary exit from the internet. This is the last cached snapshot captured by Google and the page really looks weired.
This is not the first time it is offline. Microsoft.com, which ranks 15th in the Alexa was last offline on 25th Jan, 2001
Wondering what might be the scene at MS office. Also trying to figure out the angry (smiling?!) faces of infinite Microsoft users! Eagerly waiting for this software giant’s press brief 
UPDATE: An hour later after I published this post everything looks fine. Pinging microsoft.com [207.46.232.182] though still gives Request timed out.
Yep same here and am not able to open its help center for qite a while now. Is there any mAcrosoft.com??
