It was much bigger than Outlook. It also took out Xbox Live, Office 365, OneDrive, and more. That's really bad.

Unbeknownst to me, when they go off-line, my devices go crazy because they cannot validate me as a user.

So I have been getting notification after notification to re-enter my password. This has gone on for two days.

Instead, I should just Google for outages and wait until their issue is resolved.

Yes, @LTT1, it's a big problem. Imagine being a student with a paper due and not being able to access it to print or being in the middle of a presentation when suddenly your Office 365 account goes down.

I'm good with the Cloud as my backup storage, but I don't feel good about it bring the end-all be-all that Office 365 wants it to be.
