Microsoft said on Tuesday that it had resolved problems that caused a significant outage affecting its MSN Messenger service worldwide.
Microsoft has restored its MSN Web sites and services that were inaccessible on the weekend and left many users unable to access game, Web-based e-mail, chat and search features, among others.
Abuse of IM can cripple workforce productivity, and even more serious is SPIM -- spam sent through instant messaging -- which is growing like a virus.
