Yesterday there was a crying session on this board that only the industry players are complaining about MSFT and its practices but the consumer is not.

Well, that isnt exactly true now is it?

Consumer groups bash Microsoft

A number of consumer advocacy groups last week submitted a
115-page report to the Senate Judiciary Committee that harshly
criticizes Microsoft and its impact on the computer software industry.

The report, released by the Consumer Federation of America and the
Media Access Project, claims that Microsoft has hidden the costs of its
software by bundling the technology into computers and that it doubled
the price of its operating system after it secured a monopoly.


Looks like even the Consumer groups are after MSFT...
