In the Time magazine we got today, on about pages 10-11, Microsoft has
a big ad discussing "five 9s" reliability.  Their punch line is 

  "Today Starbucks, FreeMarkets and MortgageRamp, an affiliate of GMAC
  Commercial Mortgage, are using Windows 2000 Server-based systems
  designed to deliver 99.999% server uptime."
  ^^^^^^^^^^^

No claim that they actually deliver that uptime, of course.
