Microsoft is on a roll. I lost the count of how many cases has Microsoft settled.

Microsoft on Monday reached a settlement with consumers in Minnesota to end an antitrust suit that claimed that the company had overcharged for its Windows operating system and its Office application software.

According to information posted to the Web site for the Fourth Judicial District Court of Minnesota, Microsoft now has a preliminary deal in the case. The court reported that the settlement terms will remain confidential until they are finalized in early July. However, the court said the jury that's overseeing the case has been discharged and that the trial process related to the claim has been completed.
