Its unfair to even make this comparison in my opinion.  The Windows OS 
was designed for desktop and small business server use, and as such was 
never intended to run overnight.  UNIX was designed for use as a 24x7 
server, and has been used for such for decades, and so it naturally 
going to have better uptimes.
