[Watcher Guru] JUST IN: Microsoft $MSFT says FAA ground stop does not appear to be linked to its services.

The statement follows a halt in flights tied to the FAA, with Microsoft ($MSFT) moving quickly to clarify that its systems were not the cause. The comment matters because outages at major cloud providers can ripple across airlines, payment systems and exchanges, so investors watch such claims closely. What to watch next is the FAA's own explanation for the ground stop and whether any Microsoft-hosted services report knock-on issues.
