Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

"Cheers! Tears! I'm here!"
I am most appreciative of the scope of the Mars Project. From the time of it's launch to this very time, I followed keenly, it's progress. The Mars mission is indeed, a laudable program.And to the lander that completed the task of extending man's contact to the red planet's surface, I rather choose not to take the farewell message of "So long Earth" as a departure. It lives on, by virtue of the test results it sent back to Earth.
I would rather say, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You were worth the effort.
