http://messenger.microsoft.com/support/status.asp The service is temporarily unavailable. More information will be posted here as it becomes available. Looks like it was updated. On Mon, 6 Jan 2003, Patrick Muldoon wrote:
Actually it has been doing that for a while, even before it even got posted on nanog. So I don't think it is a Slashdot effect, or in the case the NANOG effect.

Service status is available at http://messenger.microsoft.com/support/status.asp
But according to the page all is fine.. Which is NOT the case here either.
Here it gives:
HTTP Error 500-13 - Server too busy Internet Information Services
Which is probably caused by quite a few people trying to pull the information why their messenger does not work.
Maybe it�s too early at Redmond.
