I'm not sure that's entirely fair.  While I agree that there are
better choices than fedora for enterprise level servers, remember
that he is talking about switching away from windows where
downtime from 'zero-day' viruses is common and should be
expected in spite of third party add-ons - I've been through
2 myself in the last few years.  Fedora does have some problems
but they are almost entirely when you drop an untested update
onto specific hardware.  It's almost unheard of for a working
system to fail mysteriously if you don't change it so I'd
expect a system where all updates are tested on identically
hardware before rolling out to be at least as solid as anything
under windows.
