Microsoft Settles More Lawsuits

Ridgelift writes "Microsoft has settled with the state of Tennessee to the tune of $64 million dollars. This comes on the heels of more settlements with North and South Dakota, and will likely be similar to the settlement with North Carolina in issuing vouchers. Hopefully there will be more websites to help customers receive their refunds, or help donate their vouchers to help the Free Software Foundation."

  1. yes, small potatoes for M$, big win for FSF by ciaran_o_riordan · · Score: 3, Insightful

    > $65M is chump change for microsoft

    Certainly, but people only have to channel 1% of that to the FSF and we can almost double FSF's annual revenues. Microsoft may not do much with $65M, but FSF could rock their monopoly with it.

  2. Enough Settlements. Let's Convict by Confessed+Geek · · Score: 2, Insightful


    It's probably just selfish on my part, but I wish the states would stop setteling and go for the throat and get a conviction so we can start setting up some precedents here. Wouldn't puntative damages come to more than these settlements?
