The settlement, arising from a lawsuit in which it was claimed that Microsoft had violated California’a anti-trust law by charging too much for Windows 95 and Windows 98, provides that both corporations and consumers located in California are entitled to refunds ranging from $50.00 to several million dollars. Anyone who purchased a qualifying Microsoft product in California between 1996 and 2001 may file a claim. It costs nothing to file, and covered products include Microsoft Windows, MS-DOS, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Home Essentials, Microsoft Works Suite, and Microsoft Excel. Successful claimants will receive credit vouchers ranging from $5.00 to $29.00 which can be used to purchase hardware and software from most manufacturers. For more information about how to file a claim, see the website set up by the law firm which successfully prosecuted the case, at Townsend, Townsend and Crew.
