No Docs?

Microsoft can buy white papers whenever it wants, and of course they do. They say some of these are "independent, non-sponsored" studies. Yeah, right. If you look closely, you'll find the same companies that do "independent" studies also have done "Microsoft-sponsored research". Sure, I trust their "independent" stuff without question. Anyway, apparently the most recent Yankee Group study has found that Windows servers are more reliable than Linux, but that Unix servers are more reliable than either. I can't find anything on Microsoft's website referencing this (I guess that's not surprising) though they do have The Enquirer's review of the Yankee Group study says:

Yankee says that Windows 2003 Server is a more reliable server operating system than Linux as the downtime was longer for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Linux distributions from "niche" open source vendors. It says that one reason for this was that there was a shortage of Linux and open source documentation.
Huh? A "shortage of Linux and open source documentation"?? I'm still shaking my head over that one. PC World Del.icio.us | Yahoo! My Web |
