Microsoft Class Action Suit Outcome: Indifference

Posted by timothy on Sunday December 26, 2004 @07:50AM from the pick-your-vested-interest dept.

Ec|ipse writes points out that only about 7 percent of eligible Californians have decided to take Microsoft up on their settlement claims resulting from a class action suit in that state, writing "Microsoft contends that it's because the software giant is so popular with consumers." Eclipse excerpts from the press release on Yahoo! (from Settlement Recovery Center, a company that "helps businesses participate in class action settlements"): "With only two weeks remaining until the January 8 deadline, fewer than one million claims have been filed, out of some fourteen million eligible, for a share of the $1.1 billion fund arising out of the Microsoft class action settlement in California."

I'm really starting ot wonder if Microsoft's comments about how great an popular their software is are actually lies to the public, or if they are just trying to convince themselves.

It's like some nerd saying "I don't get a lot of dates, but that's just because so few girls out there deserve me. I just need to find one that does."
