"A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit about certain Microsoft software acquired by consumers and businesses between February 18, 1995 and December 15, 2001 for use in California. People and businesses that are covered by the settlement can get vouchers that may be redeemed for cash after buying eligible computer products. If you or your business is covered by the settlement, you can get more information, send in a claim form to get vouchers, or object to the settlement. The Court-ordered notice and other documents at this website explain the settlement, the benefits it provides, and the options that you have, including how to submit a claim form. The deadline for mailing your claim is January 8, 2005. This deadline will not be extended."

It's not really a "lot" of money (though, some people might think that $30 is a lot).

Also, it looks like it's only for CA. I think this will only highly affect business owners (some business might have hundreds or thousands of licenses for MS products, resulting in lots of $$).

I read the Summary Notice from the link.
