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.

Most of the Windows servers we use in production (we use Windows and linux but we're slowly phasing out the former) do have poorer uptime than linux. That's nothing to do with traffic - they just need rebooting more often.
That's not an anti-Windows bias, just my experience. I imagine most folks working in a mixed environment would report something similar.
