Microsoft's page is up and running fine; however their internal DNS has been hacked or something.. Been down all day. Here's the IP for microsoft.com, which you can use to access the site anyway.

Thanks. However, pocketpc.com and microsoft.com are still not working over here. I'll have to wait for my ISP to update the DNS. It's probably working for most, but not some..

Got this from my server

Attention subscribers: Microsoft, MSN, and any other Microsoft affiliated
web site is not working today. The problem appears to have started at
around 10:30PM(CST) Tuesday January 23. Microsoft has some sort of DNS
corruption issue from what we can tell. While their network and servers
appear to work fine, it looks as if reaching any of their sites via their
respective host names will not work. This has nothing to do with Mia.Net,
this is a Microsoft problem. If your home page is programed to go to a
Microsoft branded web site, then you will experience difficulty since
they are down. You will be able to go anywhere else however. Just
ignore the error when trying to go a Microsoft owned site, and go
somewhere else.

You should be may to get to Microsoft's main web site by following this
link: http://207.46.230.218/

So, to conclude, if you cannot use your MSN, etc.. Please do call Bill
Gates about this one. Again, it does not matter what provider you use,
this is a world wide problem that is affecting all Microsoft sites. Thank
you.
