Documents in a Minnesota state class-action lawsuit accusing Microsoft of overcharging customers for some software products began trickling onto the court's Web site on Thursday. The court is posting exhibits related to testimony in the case, which, as of Thursday, was scheduled to include videotaped depositions from former Microsoft employees Phil Barrett and Stephanie Reichel, and the founder of computer maker Vobis, Theo Lieven. Exhibits are expected to appear daily that relate to the previous day's testimony, according to the court's Web site. | ||

| Define "over charging". If microsoft's published price is $100 and they charge the client $110, then yes, they are overcharging. If it is someone's opinion that they should offer a lower price, then I am sorry - welcome to the free market. Yes, I would like to pay less - way less - than I am currently being charged, however I would like to see the free market straighten it out. I remember when I had to pay $75,000 for an Oracle database license on a server with 25 users. Nobody took them to court; instead, the free market took hold and Microsoft and other vendors gained a foothold in the marketspace via offering a quality product with a lower price. |

| tizzyd, you are wrong. The settlement came post of the Rulings of Fact which are accepted in the Courts. They were re-used in the California case and parts of the ruling were accepted in the Java case. In both cases, it was accepted before the court that Microsoft was a monopoly whihc used illegal tactics to maintain its monopoly and to improve its positions in other markets. Just because there was not a verdict, does not mean that there was no ruling that MS was a monopoly. |
