Windows 2003 Server is a more reliable server operating system than Linux, a research firm said Monday. According to the Yankee Group's annual server reliability survey, only Unix operating systems such as HP-UX and Sun Solaris 10 beat Windows on uptime. Windows 2003 Server, in fact, led the popular Red Hat Enterprise Linux with nearly 20 percent more annual uptime. The Yankee Group made a point of stressing that the survey was not sponsored or supported by any server OS maker.

"Annual uptime" == the amount of time in which the system is up during the year.
Number of minutes in a year: 525,948.766
Number of minutes of downtime for RedHat: 900
Number of minutes of annual uptime for RedHat: 525,048.766
If Windows 2003 had "20 percent more annual uptime", then:
Number of minutes of annual uptime for Win2k3:
1.20 * 525,048.766 = 630,058.519
That means the Windows servers were up 437.54 days of the year. Incredible achievement Microsoft!
