I cant help but think that if they had setup their DNS servers properly
they wouldnt be in this bind. (Ug, bad joke, hey its early)
I like the line:
A Microsoft network administrator working on the problems said that
Wednesday was "the worst day of my professional life." He requested that
his name not be used.
(Wouldnt working for MS make everyday the worst day of your life?)
And this just in as well:

A friend sent this in as well:
Subject: Microsoft spokesperson blames ICANN
Microsoft appears to be blaming ICANN for the failure with Microft's
domain name servers (all located at the same place at Microsoft).
Microsoft has yet to pin down the cause of the DNS error. "It can
be a system or human error, but somebody could also have done this
intentionally," De Jonge said. "We don't manage the DNS ourselves,
it is a system controlled by the Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN) with worldwide replicas.
And "Windows users discover their hosts file"
Microsoft gamers (users of www.zone.com) quickly came up with various
workarounds so they could continue playing. They were posting HOSTS.TXT
files on various gamer bulletin boards overnight.
Someone care to hand me the clue bat?
