Microsoft's web site brought down by attack Get a bigger avatar today!

Are they sure this wasn't just desperate people trying to download patches to protect their swiss-cheese computers from hackers; or was it disgruntled users trying to get their own back?

Tired of ads?

Agathon, you clearly don't understand what "denial of service" means.

They didn't exploit a hole and hack the computer, they inundated the servers with so much traffic (hence a DoS attack) so they couldn't respond to real requests.

Of course what would a helpless Apple user know about computers, after all they were stupid enough to be conned into buying chips and software that wouldn't cut it 3 years ago on the PC.

You are such a miserable loser, Asher. Didn't you read what I said, or did you not bother and just think up the lamest possible thing to say?

Denial of service attacks don't occur when legit users inundate servers with request, moron.

Hence the word "attack" -- you should look that one up, it might be useful in your next philosophical debate about Blue Cheese in the 16th dimension.

And this miserable user has a swollen d*ck from excessive sex and spinning walls from alcohol, so perhaps it should be everyone's goal to be such a miserable loser. The world would be a much happier place, a world where we wouldn't need to feel so desperate as to post sad trolls like this.

Put down the computer and pull your wife out of the fridge, and go get some *****.
