Microsoft cleaning up more lawsuits
WinNetMag | at | by Mike
This week, Microsoft settled three separate class-action lawsuits, in Arizona, Massachusetts, and North Dakota, marking the 11th, 12th, and 13th times the company has settled post-antitrust defeat cases in the US. The company will pay up to a combined $145 million to settle the cases.
In the Arizona case, Microsoft's proposed settlement is worth $105 million in software vouchers, and customers who purchased Windows or Office products between 1996 and 2002 will receive vouchers worth $9 to $12 for each purchase. Some Arizona schools will receive unclaimed vouchers toward the purchase of computer products.
