If the machine fails, the machine fails.
Most redundancy in server farms is to reroute in case of hardware failure.
be it RAID (it's what the R is for), or clustering for reliability.
If the operating system crashes due to a software bug, they shouldn't be
using an unreliable operating system in the first place.
(sharing the load between a windows and linux host)
On the same machine, that's not sharing the load, that's more than doubling
it.
