:Linux and Unix Uptime vs Microsoft on Netcraft
Linux and Unix Uptime vs Microsoft on Netcraft
Jul 26, 2009, 07 :03 UTC (6 Talkback[s]) (7568 reads)

[ Thanks to Gene Alexander for this link. ]

"Just get enough dedicated people to request sites over and over that run your favored system and you too can have your own favorable Netcraft uptime chart. I think Netcraft needs to rethink how they generate the longest uptimes chart. It is obviously being abused by people who favor Microsoft to falsely show Microsoft operating systems dominate the uptime statistics. Anyone in the IT industry with half a clue, ethics and a sense of honesty knows and admits Microsoft could not dominate on uptimes. There are too many patches that require a reboot of a Microsoft server for that to be true.

"Apparently some Microsoft administrators do not patch their systems."
