Microsoft may dole out $64 million to Tennessee

If the judges ruling is in favor of the state of Tennessee. State residents will be able to apply for vouchers from this settlement worth $5-$10 to buy computer related products.

Tennessee Microsoft customers could be in for minor a treat if a Microsoft antitrust settlement is approved by a Nashville judge. The settlement will share out $64 million worth of vouchers to residents who have bought Microsoft products between 1994 and 2002.

If the settlement is approved consumers will be able to apply for vouchers worth $5-10 to buy computers and computer-related items. Unclaimed coupons will, if it goes ahead, be given to public schools in the state to fund internet access and software. The state's Department of Education would get half of the value of the unclaimed vouchers, which could be anything up to $32 million dollars, if no one claimed coupons.
