Microsoft Chalks Up More Class-Action Settlements

Microsoft said Tuesday that it had reached settlements totaling approximately $200 million in six class-action lawsuits involving antitrust claims and product pricing. With the just-announced agreements, a total of 10 such suits have been settled to date, leaving five still in the courts. Microsoft also said it has successfully derailed class-action lawsuits in 17 other states, either by having them dismissed or by convincing courts not to grant class certification.
