Linux distros and Apple beat Microsoft's homepage uptime (Royal Pingdom)

The folks over at the Royal Pingdom blog have a comparison of uptimes and home page load times for the web sites of multiple Linux distributions along with Microsoft and Apple. Overall, the results of this month-long monitoring effort reflect quite well on Linux, but the authors are quick to caution that these numbers only reflect a particular point in time. Longer term monitoring is ongoing as well. "It is interesting to see that even with limited resources, many of the teams behind the various Linux distributions are managing a better homepage uptime and load time than Microsoft does, at least during this time period."
