I'm no friend of Microsoft, but the Consumer Federation of America scares me. They're claiming, based on prices from other applications, that Microsoft has abused its monopoly power and overcharged customers by $10 billion. And calling for a class action suit against Microsoft if the DOJ wins its monopoly case. Microsoft has made no attempt to hide their business practices. The American people have voted with their dollars, and deserve to get the results of those votes, good and hard. Anything else is just encouraging consumer stupidity.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
