Can't Open Microsoft-Related Web Pages: Is there a Virus/Bug?

Is Microsoft undergoing one of their nationwide viruses/bugs again? For some reason, I can't open any Microsoft-run (or related) Web pages (e.g., Hotmail.com, WindowsLive.com, Microsoft Office E-mail, etc.). All other Web pages are loading just fine and speedy. So, it must be on Microsoft's end, right?

I wonder if it has anything to do with Microsoft pushing that Silverlight technology that they're touting as the "Adobe Flash Killer". It's not a default yet on their web pages but they've been advertising it as an optional "feature."

You may have a local issue. The video on the WindowsLive website is in Adobe Flash format.

Apparently, it was something on Microsoft's end, as I thought. I Googled it and, sure enough, there were tons of people all over the world who were having the same issue.

One can always rely on Microsoft to be unreliable.

If Apple's sites had gone down, we'd all have been speculating on what new, amazing product they were about to unveil any minute now.
