Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y 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.

...not to defend anyone against anyone...But I would read a statement like that as if Windows' downtime was 20% less than Linux' ditto, meaning that if Windows' downtime was 10 minutes, Linux' ditto would be 12 minutes.... I do not consider it to be a question of 20% of the potential uptime... that'd be absurd, I think!
