Problems today on windows live messenger/msn?

Haven't been able to log onto msn all day.Anyone else had similar problems today?Cheers

I've been freakin' - tried from 3 different PC's and ISP's - no ticky ticky. Thought maybe it was my Windows Live ID, so now I'm VERY re-assured (happy isn't the right word for this situation) that I'm not the only one having probs.

This episode has made me realize how hard it is to get any valid communications on Microsoft service problems as they're occurring. There ought to be some sort of Microsoft service level/status monitoring site to get quick answers on the status of their services. I tried sending a tech support question to the Windows Live Support group, and the status in the upper right hand corner said everything was available and that there were no known issues. I guess that downed servers, user logon/authentication probs, and DNS errors aren't issues for Microsoft. OR, maybe just reporting them isn't a priority. At 11:18 CST from https://support.live.com/default.aspx:

Network Status
The service is available; there are no known network issues at this time.

Yes i have still wont work
It wouldnt at school either and it usually does

I couldn't open my msn either.

Not working for me either. They must be having trouble.

I had problems all morning. Just sit back and relax....don't worry it will come on soon, mine did

yup me too...
msn, hotmail, windows live mail... all down :(
Microsoft.com will probably be next, then XP, then Vista will all crash ...ahhhhh

yes its down, i guess their updating something shouldnt be too long

i think they're updating it

Yes, I am having similiar issues - have tested using different accounts and PCs.

Also the web access does not work (webmessenger.msn.com).

Hope that the problem is with them and that it will be fixed soon !

Yep, updating!! or server too busy.

It was working yesterday till late at night...
Then this morning, suddenly, boom!
I have been using Msn for 2 years now, and this is the second time that something like this happens.
I also noticed there was a kind of msn virus among the users in your list. Every now and then my friends logged in for a minute, left a spam link and then went offline again but it wasn't them!!!?
I hope the MSN guys are trying to fix that thing too, it is awful!
