A company that measures internet service reliability has given Microsoft the top score in a test of operating system update services, reports ZDNet UK.
Microsoft’s Windows Update was available 100 percent of the second quarter of 2008, Pingdom said in a blog posting on Friday. Apple’s service was down two hours and 34 minutes, with 99.9 percent uptime, and Canonical’s Ubuntu version of Linux was down one day, five hours and 45 minutes, for 98.64 percent uptime.
