RE: Windows Live Messenger down for anyone else?
Yes, Messenger uses a lot of servers depending on your location and even depending on your account and depending on what function you use or in what state of 'logging in' you are.

And even then, it might be possible that one account uses one set of servers and the other account (with same regional settings) uses another set of servers.

Then there are also several different servers for the Messenger service as a whole: you have a switchboard server, a notification server, a data server, etc, each has its own function and each is needed for you to be able to chat.

There is not a 'one big server' which does everything.

That is indeed why some problems might be regional and that some people report issues while the others have got no problems at all. And other problems might affect only one of your accounts while the other account works perfectly. AFAIK the server status page of Messenger is accurate, but it only shows global problems, not local problems. I have seen it shown other stuff then "everything is normal".

It is indeed not possible to ping each and every server (also probably because there isn't any 'list' of all the servers).
