Millions of New Yorkers who bought personal computers could score $12 coupons or more, no questions asked, as part of a massive antitrust settlement from Microsoft, headed by Bill Gates. “Almost all of your readers could be eligible,” said David Stellings, a lawyer who helped negotiate the $350 million deal. “They are throwing away cash by not participating.“
Virtually anybody who bought a personal computer using most Microsoft software – basically any computer other than an Apple – between 1994 and 2004 is eligible to get a $12 coupon for each computer. No receipt or proof of purchase is necessary for individuals claiming purchases of five computers or less. Anyone who bought popular Microsoft software products like Word, Excel or Office during the same time frame is eligible for $5 vouchers. Consumers will be able to redeem the coupons toward any technology purchase at any store – not just computers and not just Microsoft products.
