  1. Better than Arizona settlement by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative

    Qualifying Massachusetts consumers will receive vouchers used to buy any manufacturer's desktop, laptop and tablet computers; any software available for sale to the public and used with those products; and specified accessories for use with computers.

    So at least this settlement won't be further solidifying Microsoft's monopoly by only providing vouchers for Microsoft products. Go Massachusetts!
