wow. that is significant in that their either 1) only gather windows statistics (with a token irix and linux server) or 2) they only gather data from a datacenter that is predominantly windows or3) Linux/unix sysadmins are generally smart enough to patch their systems; windows admins are not.
And I still do not believe the actual data as a system uptime. I have worked sites that have both windows and unix running the same type of system, and the lowly 5 year old unix box did ten times the traffic of the windows *cluster*, and had twice the uptime as the *cluster*.
My guess is that the windows servers listed at the above url are actually clusters, that allow upgrades, reboots and testing of one at a time offline. Not true uptime at all.
