Microsoft still battling Windows Live and Hotmail outage

A major outage to Microsoft Windows Live services has left an unknown number of users unable to access MSN Messenger, Hotmail and other services since earlier today. Progress is being made on resolving the situation, the company says.

Initially believed to be an incident isolated to the east coast of the United States, users from the west coast and several other nations also reported they have been unable to access any Windows Live services since sometime around 6:30 a.m. EST.

Microsoft acknowledged the outage, but did not say how many people were affected or when Windows Live would be fully functional again. Other Microsoft online services such as Xbox Live have also been down for several hours today.

According to the Redmond company, the problem involves Windows Live IDs, which are used to log users into its services. Microsoft says an issue is “purely impacting the log-in process” and those who have already successfully logged in are not impacted.
