Royal Pingdom blog has posted with a comparison of home page load times and uptimes and concludes that various Linux distributions and Apple, both beat Microsoft's record.
- 13/16 Linux distributions (and Apple) had less downtime than Microsoft's homepage.
- 5/16 Linux distributions had less downtime than Apple's homepage.
- Four homepages had NO downtime: Red Hat, Mepis, Knoppix and Fedora.
- Five homepages had more than an hour of downtime: Gentoo, Mandriva, Mint, Arch and Microsoft.

If those linux distro sites encounter so much traffic as microsoft.com has every second, they will die in convultions. By the way, microsoft.com is a very large and sophisticated system, involving a lot of Windows and UNIX servers, with load balancing and caching from third party. Actually end user does not touch microsoft's hardware at all (:
