Microsoft Facing Class-Action Suit Over Xbox Live Points 107

An anonymous reader tips news that a lawyer in Pennsylvania has filed a class-action lawsuit against Microsoft, alleging that the company's handling of Xbox Live transactions is, in some cases, fraudulent. "Samuel Lassoff, of Horsham, PA, said an invoice he received earlier this month from Microsoft included charges for purchases he couldn't complete due to a balky download system — and he claimed it wasn't an accident. Microsoft 'engaged in a scheme to unjustly enrich itself through their fraudulent handling' of his account, Lassoff charged in papers filed earlier this week in US District Court for Eastern Pennsylvania. ... 'Microsoft breached that contract by collecting revenues for digital goods and services which were not provided,' Lassoff said in his lawsuit."

I have no problems with an application using a lot of memory. I have problems with it failing to give that memory back to the system when it is no longer needed. It is clear that after all but one of the tabs are closed, Firefox doesn't need to keep 70MB of memory. The fact that it keeps that memory around makes it a huge memory hog.

I don't have Opera installed, and don't have IE7 with tabs, so I haven't tested either of them in a similar environment. If I found that they also kept large chunks of memory when they didn't need it, I would call them memory hogs too.
