A judge is ordering the Microsoft to pay $112.5 million to attorneys who successfully sued the software maker for monopolizing a segment of California's market. The award for fees and costs comes in a case in which Microsoft agreed to allocate $1.1 billion for California consumers--after a small San Francisco law firm sued in state court here alleging the company inflated prices by monopolizing the preinstalled software market from 1995 to 2001.
