Unix, Linux Uptime and Reliability Increase: Patch Management Woes Plague Windows  from  IBM

Unix, the leading Linux distributions from Novell and Red Hat as well as open source Ubuntu were the clear winners in the Yankee Group 2007-2008 Global Server Operating System Reliability Survey. Yankee Group’s second annual Global Server Operating System Reliability Survey polled 400 users from 27 countries worldwide. During the past 2 years, Yankee Group polls have indicated that all of the major server operating system platforms achieved a much higher degree of reliability than they experienced in the prior decade. In general, none of the major server operating systems—Linux, Macintosh, Windows and Unix—are beset by the long list of bugs that plagued their predecessors in the 1980s and 1990s.
