Microsoft Settles Tennessee Class Action

Microsoft Corp. has agreed to pay $64 million to settle a class-action lawsuit in Tennessee that alleged it overcharged for its software, the software maker said. The deal is similar to settlements that Microsoft has reached in other states. Tennessee residents who bought Microsoft Windows, Office or stand-alone Word or Excel products between Dec. 21, 1995, and Dec. 31, 2002, can apply for vouchers that may be used to buy desktop or notebook computers, software or certain peripherals, Microsoft said in a statement.
