"My experience and some of my friends' experience is that Linux is quite unreliable."

I don't think any software is "reliable". Well tested/battle hardened? Yes. Reliable? No.

This is the kind of ridiculous statement that comes from Slashdot. Yes for a Mars rover or medical device we might want some insane level of reliability. But reliable enough for Google, IBM and Amazon and thousands of other companies is enough to take the title "reliable operating system", the rest is just playing semantics.
