Microsoft class action

[Warren Toda]

If you are a Canadian PC user who purchased Microsoft Windows, Office, Word, Excel or Works between December 23, 1998, and March 11, 2010, then you can make a claim  in this settlement. This includes buying a PC that had the Microsoft software already installed. No Mac users need apply.

The bad news is that you can get only $13 for Windows, $8 for Office and $6 for other eligible software. If you bought multiple PCs over the 12 years, you can make a claim for each computer. No receipts are required if you're claiming under $250.

Is it worth your while?
