If someone uses Minix in production, they most likely do so because they care about reliability above all else. http://wiki.minix3.org/FAQ#What_is_the_performa

  No. If they cared above reliability above all else, they'd be more likely to use something like HP's nonstop systems, which are from their Compaq purchase, where were from Tandem. You can hotswap the motherboards of those things with 0 downtime. They run the backend of much of the airline industry (former delta employee).
