Also I think that the timing of Ubuntu's downtime would be interesting as it could of been caused by people upgrading to a new version as opposed to mainly patches.
Either way there is only a few percent in it.
I just wish that Ubuntu used deltas by default and fell back to full downloads when required as even the smallest update to something like open office or the Kernel can be quite a hefty download.

Keyword is "availability". Microsoft has a bigger infrastructure that Ubuntu or Apple. If all three infrastructures where equal, then the results of this study would actually mean something.
