"Skype, the internet telephony provider, said today that a massive,
simultaneous restart of its users' computers was to blame for the two-day
outage its service suffered last week.

"Millions of users collectively downloading a routine security update from
Microsoft and then rebooting their machines had caused what the company
called a "critical disruption", prompting its peer-to-peer network to
collapse. "

Go ahead, blame Microsoft...
