I guess Saturdays don't count for "on demand"
Salesforce.com will be performing system maintenance for SIX HOURS tomorrow. I hope any Salesforce.com users weren't planning on catching up on any work this weekend!
Also, why did they schedule this interruption for "prime time" from 9am to 3pm? Most system maintenance time slots are like 10pm to 2am so as not to interfere with users. Not good.
Needless to say, Microsoft CRM customers don't have to worry about someone else scheduling downtime for them. A lot of our customers (particularly those in the real estate industry) do most of their business on the weekends...so this type of outage would be completely unacceptable to them.

Mike, I was one of those hoping to get work done and surprised by the long outage. It's a bummer - but nowhere near some of the headaches MS CRM has given me...

Yeah, I guess Salesforce doesn't "get it"
Well, back to figuring out the 20,000 error messages I get every time I use MS CRM!

The message says that salesforce.com will be generally available.
The message you posted is a warning that there may be some minor blips, bumps, or pauses while the maintenance is being performed. Any user of salesforce.com knows that you can continue to work normally during a period like this.
