redefined uptime?
Microsoft once defined "uptime" as including time spent rebooting due to patches and necessary updates. So even though the systems weren't actually available, because they were being rebooted due to a deliberate event we were told that they were considered "up".
Utter and complete bullocks of course, but that was their definition a few years ago at least, when I last worked with Microsoft servers. I guess it was the only way they could reach their advertised 3-nines uptime.
Are they doing that for their cloud offerings as well? How IS Microsoft re-defining "uptime" these days?
