Smoking Skype gun found under Microsoft's rug
Microsoft lived up to its reputation of being the source of all evil, including last week's Skype outage.
By forcing the world to upgrade their Windows XP systems last week, the Skype using portion of it logged on in droves, effectively launching a Denial of Service attack on the VoIP service.
Never mind that ultimately Skype should have architected a system that is able to handle a large number of users logging on all at once. If Apple had Microsoft's market share, would it have been blamed for outage as well?
