Microsoft to amend schools settlement plan | |
|
||
| Time: 06:36 EST/11:36 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Matthew Sabean | ||

Microsoft and lawyers representing more than 100 private class-action lawsuits plan to amend their controversial settlement agreement on Monday. Microsoft and plaintiff attorneys cut the deal last month, agreeing to set up a private foundation to aid needy schools and donate an estimated $1 billion in monies, software, services and training over five years. Microsoft also would provide Windows licenses for refurbished computers donated to the schools. The changes are intended to respond to some of the most-sharply criticized aspects of the deal: How much choice is afforded the schools and how funds are used for training. | ||

Let it not be said that Microsoft doesn't listen to criticism and respond.

| #2 So far nobody has yet shown that Microsoft overcharges for its products. If you can't prove that, then there is no reason that Microsoft should pay any money to anyone at all. The fact that Microsoft is willing to accept such a settlement as this is a great thing. |

This is a settlement, #2... Not a punishment.

#7. Yes, that's the case. I say let the lawsuit go forward.
I think you'll find that the lawyers who are representing the "consumers" would prefer a settlement, as it's pretty safe to say they'd lose this case. |
