Microsoft's online services have a different, user-specific status page

Outlook.com is down for me right now. When I look at the status page at https://status.live.com/detail/outlook it says that everything is running normally.

If I view the same page while logged in the status is magically different: 'We're having problems signing you in to some email programs' and 'We're working on the problem and will provide an update by Jan 7 6:45 PM'

If some users are having problems shouldn't the global status page reflect that?
