JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Mississippi residents have until Oct. 16
to submit claims under the state's settlement of a lawsuit with
Microsoft.
The state received $40 million from the settlement, and another
$60 million was set aside for people, schools and businesses to
make claims.
Attorney General Jim Hood says people can apply for vouchers for
rebates on qualifying hardware or software if purchased after June
11, 2009.
To receive vouchers, people must have purchased certain licensed
Microsoft software, or a personal computer with certain Microsoft
software installed on it, for use in Mississippi between January 1,
1996 and June 11, 2009. Hood says many schools and small businesses
may also be eligible.
