Did anyone else in Arkansas get a Microsoft lawsuit letter in the mail?

I'm in CA and I got a voucher for like $106 for our settlement.

Exactly. I'd throw that sh!t away.

Don't throw away...object to the settlement, you are preserving your standing to sue later...if you really want...

Go for it. It took almost 2 years, but in MN I got $150. The lawyers got something like $50M. B@stards.

I will highly recommend submitting a claim form because you can get reimbursed for hardware or software purchases.

What is the Value of the Vouchers?

for use in Arkansas between January 1, 1998 and December 31, 2004, the Settlement Administrator will issue:

* A voucher for $12.00 for each license of Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows Millennium Edition (specified in Appendix A-1 of the Settlement Agreement).
* A voucher for $5.00 for each license of Office, Word, Excel, Home Essentials, and Works Suite (specified in Appendix A-2 of the Settlement Agreement).
* A voucher for $5.00 for each license of MS-DOS, Windows versions 1.0 to 3.2, Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT Workstation, Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000 Professional (specified in Appendix A-3 of the Settlement Agreement).

A Class Member may transfer $650 worth of vouchers to a third party transferee. A third party transferee may redeem up to $10,000 in vouchers for rebates, upon certifying that the transferee purchased the Qualifying Hardware or Qualifying Software for use in his or her home or business. Vouchers can be transferred once only

What is Considered Qualifying Hardware or Qualifying Software?

Qualifying Hardware includes personal computers, laptop computers, Tablet PCs and Apple Macintosh computers. If the total amount of your voucher(s) is less than $950, you may also redeem your voucher(s) for the purchase of printers, monitors, scanners, keyboards, mice and other pointing devices. If the total amount of your voucher(s) is $950 or more, you may redeem your voucher(s) for the purchase of printers, monitors, scanners, keyboards, mice and other pointing devices only if those items come bundled with the computer.

Qualifying Software includes any software title, including titles not published by Microsoft, which is available for sale to the general public in standard form and is capable of running on any Qualifying Hardware.

What did Microsoft do to you?

 

[WildHorse]

We received this a year or more ago (California).
I did a nice well - documented reply with all receipts, sent it in, never got zilch.

Yesterday in the mail I received a 2nd letter, starting their request all over again. Says (again) I'll get $108 if I send in a well -documented claim.

And here it is as proof a roonie

Circle-jerk merry-go-round???

Would it be worth it to fill out the paperwork? What kind of cash could I expect? 20? 30? 100 bucks?

California has had this for years.

I filled out all of the forms.

I don't know anyone who has received a penny.

fingers crossed

I did. Well, I got the voucher in the mail and have sent it in, so I should get a check, oh, sometime before Christmas, maybe?

Sent mine in August. If I don't get anything---no big deal.

Hell has officially frozen over. Today I got a check from the MS-Cali settlement for $351.00. :Q

Class action lawsuits benefit the law firm not the consumer and they raise prices for everyone.

Read The King of Torts by John Grisham. If his books are anchored in reality (and I have reason to believe that they are), then the attorneys behind class action lawsuits are genuine scum.
