In the US, it wouldn't surprise me.... This outage was not just in the US but all over. Affected service in the Ukraine plus areas of the world with spotty Internet coverage. -

"This is despite the company inching closer to a $4 trillion market cap with each passing day." Sigh, you realise Microsoft doesn't own that $4T, right? That money is owned by investors. In fact, Microsoft is expected to hand out dividends which does come out of operating revenue, so that much market capitalisation can actually be a drain on a company, not a benefit. Microsoft's actual revenue in 2024 was around $375B with reported earnings of $155B which means that 59% of its earnings were eaten by expenses. You could legitimately argue that $155B is still a lot of money, so why lay off those workers? If we assume an average salary of $90K per worker, 9,000 workers mean $810M just in wages, which seems like small beans compared to $155B. But seriously, people have to get over market cap as a metric of anything other than investor confidence. It is NOT the measure of the actual worth of a company. -

You know - if you abbreviate 2038 as 2K38, it's exactly the same number of characters and so isn't actually an abbreviation - and worse, just makes it confusing for people who weren't aware of the original Y2K problem which happened 25 years ago.
