Hmm, not sure why I was down voted but anyways, ah yeah the article didn't mention it was a DDoS, it's not even a 'hack' at this point in my opinion.

  Probably doesn't even take much to knock down the servers on xmas day given the insane burst of xmas traffic from first power on of new devices.

    It's so cute people think that Microsoft can't predict holiday sales and plan capacity for it. Hint: the scale of magnitude here for existing users, new users, and requests from the DDoS are on completely, completely different scales. @thefreeman: I know I'm (understandably) hellbanned. Thanks though!

    I have no idea why ossreality is flagged dead. he is completely right and your suggestion is pretty silly.

      I have no idea why he keeps commenting while hellbanned. Only some of us can see him and no one can respond to him directly. Just make a new name, man.
