According to a press release issued by Plaintiffs Council for the Class and the Defense Council for Microsoft:
Plaintiffs claim that Microsoft violated Iowa antitrust laws. Because of this, the lawsuit claims that consumers and businesses paid more for Microsoft Software. Microsoft denies the claims and says it developed and sold high quality software products at fair and reasonable prices.”“A Polk County District Court has granted preliminary approval to a $179.95 million settlement reached on behalf of persons and entities that purchased certain Microsoft software.
