It's not in the easiest place to find. I'd think most of the clueless
would overlook the tags because they're at the bottom. I'd also bet on
a campaign to stack the numbers the other way (this is an obvious
stacking as well).

But they're there. There's one "awesome" and a whole slew of poor
ratings: defectivebydesign, drm, defective by design, downgrade,
abusive eula, and lots more for Microsoft(tm) Windows(tm) Vista(tm)
Home(tm) Premium(tm) FULL(tm) VERSION(tm) [DVD](tm).

It's a shame Linux has such difficulty running some of the more popular
Windows applications: Nimda, CodeRed, Klez, ILOVEYOU, WPA, Swen,
SoBig, Beagle, Sober, Mydoom, NetSky, Bagle, Drivus, Randex.
