Why a tough day on Friday: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A coalition of consumer groups Friday said Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) should return $10 billion to consumers for overcharging buyers of its computer operating software over the past three years. An analysis by the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and other organizations concluded the pricing abuse would only get worse unless Microsoft was disciplined in the antitrust case brought against the software group by the Justice Department and 19 states. This is from a story you can access using yahoo stock quotes. Can you imagine giving back the money?! What an absurd notion.
