" Windows 2003 Server, in fact, led the popular Red Hat Enterprise Linux
with nearly 20 percent more annual uptime. "

20% more annual uptime..??  What does that mean? Like if Windows 2003
was up 99.something% of the time, then what was Red Hat?  Was it only
79.something% up?   What?

Anyway, let's move on.  How should the people at Information Week
die? :)

(They didn't provide a source or link to the original research, so there
really isn't a whole lot to debate here. :)
