Microsoft will have to do a lot better on their Live network before I'd consider anything beyond what was previously conducted on their network. This past holiday of network troubles seem to continue. Games that I've played with 5-6 friends without problems before are now unable to maintain session connectivity--and this after a week long period of not even being able to use Live at all.
Microsoft can use as many excuses as they wish along side their re-interpretation of a network outage, but its not going to change the fact that they continue to illustrate incompetence, mismanagement, and lack of scalable architecture. Come this March i will not be renewing my account.
Those problems happened over the holidays. That's hardly the time that _Microsoft's_ vendors are going to be delivering very good service. I think the outages were unacceptable, but I don't think we'll see them repeated.
