Following similar settlements in California and Wisconsin, an Arkansas court said Monday it had begun to issue notices regarding a proposed settlement against Microsoft. If approved, it would mean nearly $37.8 million in payments to businesses and consumers.

Microsoft has been accused of breaking state laws regarding antitrust, consumer protection, and competition through the overcharging for its Windows operating system, word processing and spreadsheet software. The court has not ruled on the merits of the suit, and Microsoft denies that it did anything wrong, despite agreeing to settle.
