That's the first thing I noticed, too. Apart from that, aren't 7 days an odd
sample size for stats of that scale? I believe that Netscarf boasts BSD
(which also runs Netcraft), being the most stable server platform. Uptimes
hover(ed) around 4 years, IIRC.

Ask system administrators. Also bear in mind that Netcraft takes periodic
samples, so it might be missing all these sporadic reboots, crashed and
patch Tuesdays. My Web host has this third-party service that posts uptime
statistics. Every month it claims a 100% uptime, but I know it ain't true.
There are occasional short downtimes and situation where the server merely
grinds to a half (load average>~50)
