Case Background

Plaintiffs allege that Microsoft violated certain state and federal laws, unlawfully used anticompetitive means to maintain a monopoly in markets for certain software, and that as a result, overcharged Arkansas consumers who licensed its MS-DOS, Windows, Word, Excel and Office software. Microsoft denies Plaintiffs’ allegations and believes that it developed and sold high quality and innovative software products at fair and reasonable prices. The parties settled the case and on September 7, 2006 the Court conditionally certified a Settlement Class (defined in the notice) and preliminarily approved the Settlement Agreement. The Court granted final approval of the Settlement at a hearing on March 6, 2007.

These Arkansas public and charter school districts will receive vouchers to use on a wide variety of computer hardware, software and professional development services.
