You say that like it (suing) is a feature.  Au contraire.  It's not a 
feature, because you will NEVER get anywhere suing.  So instead of 
suing, pick the OS that will work best for your application.

There's a reason why most big sites (those serving lots of data) run on 
linux (or other *nix such as FreeBSD) servers.  They don't rely on 
"someone to sue" - they just picked the most robust OS and learned how 
to properly configure it, and then built their application on top.  E.g.:
