Funny, I was thinking solaris clusters among other things when I thought
about availability. :) as well as linux, bsd, etc.... most services I can
think about don't care if one or two boxes fail. Then again, half of them
are virtualized anyway and the OS dosnt realize the hardware failed... :)

I think uptime has been de-emphasized in order to breath life into the
market for one particularly unstable OS. ;) Personally, I demand both, as
I have work to do.
