Sidekick Fiasco Could Be Costing Microsoft Millions

Post by Sabre »

Article
If it's any consolation – okay, so it's probably no consolation at all – this is a very expensive 'woopsie' for Microsoft. A tip sent to Mobile Crunch reports that the outage could have cost Microsoft as much as $700,000 per day.
Sucks to be them!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
