California Consumers Settle MS Antitrust Suit

Posted by timothy on from the but-the-customers-shrug-and-move-on dept.

lseltzer writes "According to AP, $1.1B in Microsoft products will go to California consumers to settle antitrust claims against the company. I bet the lawyers don't get paid in software." Actually, the article says that those who apply for some of the settlement will receive "vouchers redeemable for any manufacturer's computer-related products and software."

    Of course it's always the same old good bashing. What would you expect as a reaction to ALWAYS THE SAME bullshit Microsoft are able to pull-of all these years?

    It definitely smells more in US than in Denmark. You've been screwed again - you'll get $5 voucher for your copy of Word, big corporate with thousands of MS licenses will get hundreds of thousands bucks and California govt will push more MS crap into schools. All this won't cost Bill a dime.

    BTW, Larry Wall is Larry Wall. On the other hand you're just an AC weasel. Go fuck yourself.

    You guys are exactly what the Penis_bird said you were ... a bunch of easily riled idiots.

    Lame ones at that too. With 2 cent posts that aren't worth mod points. All you do is complain.

    But nooooooo you wanna spurt your pseudo intellectual criticism by posting the obvious yet stupid comment that people don't read the articles.

    Because, in fact, that same argument has been used for the past 5 years now, and you think you're going to get modded up 'insightful' for making a highly thought out remark about the world.

    Guess again you losers. I feel like an Anonymous Coward compaining about trolls. Everything you say about Slashdot is straight out of a mold.

    Push button, inject polyurethane into die-cast mold... and presto: a moaner with a Slashdot-bashing comment.
