IIS Sites Double Apache's Downtime

Stephan Ullmann writes "Another nice story on the Heise Newsticker: According to this study (in German) from the Swiss WWW-Performance Index, WWW sites using MS IIS have on average twice as much downtime as sites with Apache. To obtain these values they were monitoring 100 big Swiss Internet sites every five minutes for a period of more than three months. They logged the downtime and the latency of the machines. Furthermore, they mentioned that there are a number of sites with IIS that are rebooted every day at the same time ;-) On average in all categories the servers had a weekly downtime of 99 minutes."
