<\/a><\/center>We’ve long said that it’s unfair to slap Windows 8 with the dreaded Vista comparison<\/a> and now we have some data to back it up. ZDNet’s<\/em> Ed Bott<\/a> this week took a look at Amazon (AMZN<\/a>) customer ratings for several versions of Microsoft’s<\/a> (MSFT<\/a>) operating system and found that while Windows 8 has its share of haters<\/a>, it also has even more people who\u00a0enthusiastically\u00a0support the platform. Overall, 50% of Windows 8 users gave the platform four or five-star reviews while 40% gave it a one or two-star rating. This contrasts very favorably with Vista, which received one and two-star ratings from 50% of users while receiving four and five-star ratings from just 37% of users. The ratings also show that dislike of Vista was remarkably intense, with 42% of users giving it a one-star rating that Bott describes as a “middle finger” to the platform.<\/p>\n
