July 19 (Reuters) -Wall Street's main indexes fell on Friday, deepening a sell-off driven by tech stocks and mixed earnings, while investors assessedthe impact of a global cyberoutage that knocked down CrowdStrike's shares to an over two-month low.

Microsoft slipped 0.7% to an over one-month low, on track for a four-day decline, driven by a rout in tech stocks.
"Any hint of bad news, because they (tech stocks) are so priced to perfection is going to hurt these stocks, both (CrowdStrike and Microsoft) are excellent companies and are worthwhile long-term holds," said Phil Blancato, CEO of Ladenburg Thalmann Asset Management.
