@Colonelcrayon: We never said that this is a reflection of the operating systems. This is a survey about websites, nothing else, and we’re not saying that you should choose your OS based on how its website performs.

@Todd: You don’t think it’s relevant to know how a website performs and is managed?

On the contrary to what was last said… I think that the uptime of the homepage tells the user alot about the kind of support available for the OS and also how much effort they put into their product.

Say you were going to choose a linux distro… Would you go with the company that releases no updates and their site is down 90% of the time (possibly the reason for the lack of updates)? or the one with no (or the least amount of) downtime?

Also looking at this from the perspective of the general public. What does the uptime and load time of the website tell people?
It could say that this company really doesn’t put in the time and effort to make something worthwhile. Why should I buy something from a company that doesn’t even take the time to keep their website functioning properly?

This is one of the least valuable articles I’ve ever read. Homepage uptime has absolutely nothing to do with the stability of the OS.
