Users of many Microsoft Windows Live services worldwide were hit by an outage on Tuesday that lasted most of the day before Microsoft managed to fix it. The issue affected the Windows Live ID log-in process and for the most part spared customers who were already logged in, Windows Live product manager Samantha McManus said.
