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."

  1. Slashdot readership is lame... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll
    You guys are exactly what Larry Wall said you were... a bunch of chearleaders.

    Lame ones at that too. With two cent tricks that aren't worth jack squat. All you do is complain. Without even reading the posted article... or even the summary. The summary for christ' sake! It says 'ANY'.

    But nooooo... you guys wanna spurt out your pseudo intelligence by posting the obvious, yet stupid comment that 'it doesn't cost them anything'!

    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 filthy critic complaining about the 'grass fuckers' in Hollywood... everything you say about MS is straight out of a mold.

    Push button, inject polyurethane into die-cast mold... and presto: an insightful karma whoring MS-bashing comment.

    It's about attitude not achievement.

    "Resistance is futile"

    and once again here we have a demonstration of that.

    The US's bungling of keeping their own house in order is no suprise. Hipocrisy is the stock in trade of the leaders of the "Democratic Nations"

    jeesh
