Actually lots of complaints has meaning. It means lots of people have problems with it. It doesn't mean anything else but this.
Yes. But if you have many complaints from MANY MANY users, it may not mean anything serious, it could still mean a very small fraction have problems. Absolute number means very little without context. That's the purpose of the previous comment. Please note how it doesn't say anything about qualities of Windows.
The percentage of users complaining is the same thing. If your software has 100 users that means 1 complaint, if your software has 1,000,000 users that means 10,000 complaints, for the exact same software.
