microsoft.com is back - edit: it worked once, then died again. So I guess - some resolvers, or FD servers may be working!

FWIW, all of our databases, VMs, AKS clusters, services, jobs etc - are all working fine. Which services are down for you, maybe we can build a list?

I had a fun pet project, once. Made it available for free to use. Regular releases, and others in the small community made other similar tools. The amount of shit I got because it wasn't open source was astounding. Akin to bullying. It
