Skype Blames Microsoft Patch Tuesday for Outage

brajesh writes to tell us that Skype has blamed its outage over the last week on Microsoft's Patch Tuesday. Apparently the huge numbers of computers rebooting (and the resulting flood of login requests) revealed a problem with the network allocation algorithm resulting in a couple days of downtime. Skype further stressed that there was no malicious activity and user security was never in any danger.

Well then maybe Skype should put more effort into getting their Linux and Mac versions up to date (video support, anyone?) Less worries about mass rebooting, at least...
