Yankee Group's second annual Server Operating System Reliability survey polled 700 users from 27 countries worldwide. The latest independent, non-sponsored Web-based survey revealed that all versions of UNIX -- which typically carry very high workloads -- are near bulletproof, achieving 99.999% reliability. IBM's AIX UNIX led all server operating systems for reliability with just over 30 minutes of per server annual downtime but Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems also got high scores.

That survey is a joke.
A lot servers run FreeBSD because of its reliability and performance, the survey does not even mention a word about BSDs, for example chech netcraft: http://uptime.netcraft.com/perf/reports/performance/Hosters?tn=marc...
