Reading the article for myself
They may have corrected it since marlowe read it, but that paragraph now starts out:
Such a settlement lets Microsoft off easy, Apple said Monday, because history shows that less than one-quarter of qualifying recipients actually claim refunds, thereby reducing the real cost to Microsoft.
Even more interesting to me is the paragraph above:
Under the settlement terms, one-third of any unclaimed rebates will revert to Microsoft. The remaining amount will go to California public schools in a mix of cash and donated Microsoft software.
Any bets on how much of that will be in MS software versus cash?
