"We've identified that a subset of infrastructure was unable to process requests as expected, which caused general service availability to drop unexpectedly," the company's health site says. Outlook users have taken to Twitter to complain about the outage, with many saying they're unable to hit work deadlines because of it. Others are joking about being shocked that so many people still use Outlook and Hotmail email addresses, which are less popular than – and widely considered to be inferior to – Gmail. At the time of writing, Microsoft says, "We're continuing to investigate network routes between subcomponents of the outlook.com service to determine the source of the issue and to identify our next troubleshooting steps."
