As early as next week, a judge is expected to approve a $1.1 billion antitrust settlement between Microsoft and California consumers.
That will pave the way for Microsoft software users in California to apply for vouchers of $5 to $29 toward the purchase of computer gear for each Microsoft software license they bought between Feb. 18, 1995, and Dec. 15, 2001.
Microsoft and attorneys representing consumers in the state reached the settlement in January, but have argued over the content of a notice explaining how people can apply for the vouchers.
