February 9, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- According to reports, software giant Microsoft (microsoft.com) said late Tuesday that the outage suffered by its instant messaging service MSN earlier in the day was the result of an isolated data center problem.

According to comments by Microsoft, the outage began on Monday evening and affected a "significant" number of users. MSN representatives confirmed the problem was fixed by approximately 5:00 p.m. pacific standard time on Tuesday.

The outage came just days after the W32/Bropia worm hit the MSN service. But Microsoft said the most recent downtime was not related to the worm in any way.

According to some estimates, MSN has 145 million users worldwide.
