I understand your point but I don't agree with it. Microsoft keeps their Microsoft.com webiste running 24x7 with apparently no downtime (not even an hour or two) and with soem very heavy duty traffic (one of the most trafficked sites on the web) and easily some of the fanciest server side scripting on the web as well (that thing that they do that checks your Win32 system then downloads the appopriate software to plug and patch the OS in real time is quite slick).

They run this stuff on IIS and someone in that software house knows enough about hardware to keep things chugging. If MSFT can do it, they can teach others to do it - and they don't even deal in enterprise hardware.
