backronym error?
TITSUP (Total Inability To Support Usual Service) ...
Wouldn't that be TITSUS? Or have I detected a failure of Processing?

The post via Tor (right) and what Aussies saw. © The Register A global balls-up of Redmond's Azure's caused by an infinite loop bug might have crept by those dwelling in the antipodes thanks to a seemingly fat-fingered admin who geo-blocked the region from reading the news. …
"As part of a performance update to Azure Storage, an issue was discovered that resulted in reduced capacity across services utilizing Azure Storage, including Virtual Machines, Visual Studio Online, Websites, Search and other Microsoft services," Zander told the Northern Hemisphere.
"During the roll out we discovered an issue that resulted in storage blob front ends going into an infinite loop, which had gone undetected during fighting (testing).
"As part of a performance update" = the rest of the comment I am going to give you is utter bullshit
"An issue was discovered that resulted in reduced capacity across services utilizing Azure Storage" = No shit, the users discovered this faster than the tech's, It's easy to "discover an issue" when your phone-line is being burnt down about it.
"During the roll out we discovered an issue that resulted in storage blob front ends going into an infinite loop" = Data does not go into an infinite loop, the commands dealing with it can, if they are ill-conceived. i.e. : I detect a change, send me the new file thus I detect a change send me the new file
"which had gone undetected during fighting (testing)." = It wasn't tested (at all) properly

you're misinformed:
Heartbleed affected some applications used on MS Windows as well, GNU/Bash is a cross-platform software too.
No, the problems are completely fixed. Comparing Microsoft with all the *nix systems would be very unfair and incorrect, since MS ship only a tiny portion of what the latter provides.
Please learn more about the topic before making an incorrect statement.
Why are you so worried about fixed problems like Heartbleed and Bash? If you're a Windows guy you should be more worried about MS14-067, 66, 64, 58, 57, 43, 38, 36, 22, 19, 17, 13, 11, 08 and 07? I think those are all of the remote code execution vulnerabilities marked 'Critical' by Microsoft this year including their problems similar with SSL/TLS and drive by webpage exploits. That's more than one per month and three just this month and we've still got December to get through before we start on the MS15-series. NoteOf course I didn't include those like MS14-069 which is just an 'Important' remote code execution vulnerability or any of the privilege escalation or security bypass holes.
Depends how long it was already running at 100% of course but each minute lost means over 69 days of perfect performance are required to meet 99.999%.
For an outage of hours it is essentially impossible to recover that level (100 minutes is 7000 days, 19 years).
Do they promise that or is it more like 99.9%?, a little easier to actually do.
Also, is it a 'total' or individual thing because lots of parts kept working and some people say they never noticed an outage.
Still, I think 99.999% requires a system never having a system-wide outage, a lot to ask apparently.
99.999% = 5 minutes and 15 seconds per year correct ?
Therefore
7 Hours outage = 420 minutes correct ?
Divide 420 minutes by the 5 mins 15 seconds
( 420 minutes x 60 seconds = 25,200 seconds divided by 5 mins 15 or 315 seconds )
25,200 / 315 = 80
80 YEARS !!
80 years without outage to get back to an average 99.999% uptime ??
WTF ?!
"It's only a Marketing 99.999% they rounded it up from 95% !"
After it was rounded up to 95% from 80% by another division of the marketing dept, who got the 80% by mishearing when one of the IT guys said, "Eh, who knows?"
(Geez, I'm in a mood today. Time to break for coffee and a cigar!)
Microsoft Flight Simulator? which is running on a special version of Windows? ("Windows Aircraft Edition" perhaps)
I really wished I had book marked the page that had the screen shot of the image that I have in mind. It features a pilot and co-pilot at the controls with a BSoD on the screen, with the caption (paraphrasing it a bit mind you) "Where do you want to crash today?"
