Why a Windows Update Outage Makes the News
WinInfo | at | by Mike
It wouldn't have been reported on the local news if a similar event happened in the Linux or Mac camps, but a domain name server problem with Microsoft's Windows Update Web site has, for some reason, hit the radar of the mainstream media. And if there's a lesson to be learned here, it has nothing to do with technology: Instead, I think it's high time that Microsoft's marketing people get on the phone and do some damage control. Because these days, you can't see the word "Microsoft" in a news story unless it's full of dire warnings and dread. And this has got to stop.
