Solaris seems to be the leader, which is what I'd expect. Not just because
it is a solid OS, but because Sun hardware is also very solid.
But, more interesting, to me, at least, is the detail on the
download.microsoft.com server. If I interpret this URL
http://uptime.netcraft.com/graph?explain=1&site=download.microsoft.com
correctly then until recently that site was running Solaris, and the uptime
since they switched to Windows 2000 has dropped significantly since then.
But Windows is better. Really. More secure, too. Just ask Microsoft.
