Patching a system should take priority over vanity (assuming that's what
this is)

I note win2k is beating linux on

There are lots of Linux systems out there with crazy uptimes.  The
problem is that up until about 8-12 months ago, the kernel would
roll over at ~497 days.  It has to do with the representation of
time within the kernel.  Thus, it will not even be possible for a
Linux system to make onto that list (assuing the lowest machine
is still ~650) for probably about another year.
