Microsoft settles with Tennessee

WinNetMag | at | by Mike

Microsoft agreed this weekend to pay $64 million to settle a set of antitrust-related class action lawsuits in Tennessee, ending charges that it over-charged consumers for Windows and other products in that state. The deal is predictably similar to the many other class action lawsuit settlements Microsoft has made with consumers in other US states, and will see the software giant provide vouchers for any users who purchased Windows, Office, Word, or Excel between December 21, 1995 and December 31, 2002. The vouchers can be used to purchase any computer software or hardware.
