Planned downtime for .NET Messenger Service
dwergs says:
MSN Germany, MSN France and MSN Belgium are informing their visitors of a planned downtime of the .NET Messenger Service. Because of necessary maintenance, you won't be able to sign in to MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger and Web Messenger on:
Saturday, October 30th, from 5 AM until 9 AM CET.
This is Central European Time and we presume that this maintenance only affects European users of the .NET Messenger Service. But just in case, that time period corresponds to:
- Friday, 10 PM - Saturday, 2 AM CST (US Central Time);
- Friday, 8 PM - Saturday, Midnight PST (US Pacific Time);
- Friday, 11 PM - Saturday, 3 AM EST (Eastern Europe Time).
More countries confirmed for scheduled MSN Messenger downtime

Earlier today we reported about the planned downtime of the .NET Messenger Services tomorrow (Saturday, 30th of October) between 5 and 9 o' clock in the morning (Central European Time). We have just got word Messenger users from The Netherlands, Spain, Finland and Italy will be included in this maintenance task as well, confirming more and more our basic assumption that this will be a general (European) downtime of 4 hours.
Scheduled .NET Messenger Service Downtime:
Sat. 30th of Oct. 2004 between 5-9 AM CET [6-10 AM for Finland].
Confirmed for (UPDATED):

UPDATE: MSN wishes to apologize for any inconvenience caused by the unavailability of their services in several countries. They would also like to add there's a slight possibility that these operations exceed the 9 AM mark.
We will update this post as soon as we receive new information. For now, be prepared to "live outside the box" on Saturday morning
