] Microsoft settles Tennessee suit
]
]
] Microsoft said Friday that it received preliminary
] approval for settlement in a class-action antitrust suit
] with consumers in Tennessee. Under the terms of the deal,
] those who bought certain Microsoft products will be
] eligible for vouchers good toward the purchase of future
] computer gear.
]
] If less than $64 million in vouchers is awarded,
] Microsoft will give half of the remaining amount to
] Tennessee schools, in the form of vouchers. The software
] maker said late last month that it had reached a pact
] with lawyers in six states, including Tennessee.

Geez! Why oh why did California have to settle for vouchers instead of a fine? DUMB!
