Bhav Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Microsoft agrees $1.1bn legal deal The American software giant, Microsoft, has agreed to give away vouchers worth more than $1bn (?622m) to settle private lawsuits filed by customers in California. "We feel very good that we've put these cases behind us," said a Microsoft lawyer Some 13 million Californian businesses and individuals will be offered the vouchers to purchase computer equipment and software including, if they want, non-Microsoft products. The offer must still be approved by the judge hearing the case. It involved accusations that Microsoft overcharged customers in California and abused its dominant market position. Lawyers say the agreement could also benefit 3 million children in thousands of California schools. News Source: Shah Web Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
