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.

Easy/Free Wifi a key to being a top workplace
I wouldn't have agreed with the basic premise of this piece a month ago (in the UK) because Starbucks did not offer free Wifi. Well, they now have it (though it is still slow and difficult to login to) so they are getting there. Curiously, though the seating, ambience and refreshment is great, the best free Wifi in UK has been Macdonalds. Combined with some slick refurbishing and refurnishing of their establishments to make them easier and more condusive to work, Macdonalds won me back as a customer for the first time since the kids gave up their Happy Meals (a long time ago). Going forward free Wifi will be a pre-requisite as will good coffee and comfy seating. It will be interesting to see what other amenities, attractions, comforts, bonuses, lures other retail establishments introduce to attract the footfall clientele of the road warriors.
