NOTICE ISSUE RESOLVED IN CALIFORNIA CASE

Posted July 15, 2003 5:05 PM Pacific Time

A San Francisco judge is expected later this week to
preliminarily approve the $1.1 billion settlement in a class
action lawsuit against Microsoft, allowing notices to be sent
to California software buyers inviting them to file claims.

San Francisco Superior Court Judge Paul Alvarado said in
mid-June he was ready to give the settlement preliminary
approval. However, he could not because Microsoft and the
plaintiffs, lawyers representing groups of California
consumers, were at odds over the notices to computer users
that are to appear in the media, in the mail and online.
