Outlook, Teams, and Copilot were knocked around for a huge chunk of the workday across a ton of countries, and Microsoft was still talking about limited recovery. Hard to keep selling 'the AI assistant is ready for real work' after a full day of that. Today's roundup: https://www.npr.org/2026/11/13/nx-s1-6040038/the-news-roundup-for-november-13-2026

An infrastructure outage is not the same thing as Copilot being bad at the job. It does say a lot about how much of the workday is now sitting on one company's cloud.
If your office went dark for a whole workday, the 'ready for actual work' pitch is a hard sell today, even if the model itself didn't cause the outage.
They blamed elevated load and spent the day chasing recovery. That's a reliability story more than a model-quality story, but people are absolutely gluing the two together.
