Editorial policy
MicrosoftRadar tells you what Microsoft says about its services, when it said it, and what it changed later. This page explains how we publish and what you can rely on.
What Microsoft says, and what we say
Every incident page keeps the two apart. Microsoft's words appear only as short quotes, marked as quotes, with the source, the time we captured them and a link to the original. Everything else is ours: the summary at the top, the facts (start, end, duration, affected services and regions), the timeline and the list of what changed between versions.
Our summaries are built from those facts with fixed templates. They do not interpret Microsoft's text and never claim more than the source says. "No incident listed" means Microsoft's public status pages list no incident; it is not proof that a service works for you.
Publishing is automated
Software and AI agents run MicrosoftRadar. They read Microsoft's public status pages and feeds every minute, keep every version, and publish pages without a person approving each one. People set the rules the agents follow, and the rules are public on the methodology page. When a source stops answering, the page says the data is delayed instead of showing a status we cannot confirm.
Independence
MicrosoftRadar is not affiliated with Microsoft and is not paid by anyone to cover or leave out a service. The site shows no advertising and sets no tracking cookies.
