Wouldn't a more meaningful measure be downtime? Has anyone put together info on how much downtime, as a percentage, is required for regular upgrades/maintanence for different OSes. That would allow one to distinguish between downtime that's expected and downtime that isn't (e.g. crashes). I would think that would be an important distinction. --Tim --- "SILVER, MICHAEL A" <MSILVER@scana.com> wrote: > It is mostly marketing.
