Can Microsoft be sued for forceware?

Hello, I have a question to ask today here. Someone in my family decided to try "Medical billing and coding". The program required use of microsoft office, which we did not have. Also I personally run a different operating system alltogether. Microsoft office 2003 would have cost us about 200 - 400 standard edition. As a result the member of the house could not finish the course. Because we are on a tight budget at the moment. So, we paid about 1,000 dollars for the course. The member did not know they would be required to use Microsoft products. Anyone that has any idea in law, because I do not that much. Can you tell me if it would be possible, and just, and an inexpensive way to bring Microsoft to court for justice? They afterall made this requirment "Excel, word , etc" It was forced upon us. To get the money back as an Antitrust settlement. It is not really correct we paid "and still paying out" money for nothing. It is not institutes fault for this standard in offices.

You don't jhave a leg to stand on. You neglected to mention who offered the course or whether they let you know in advance of taking the course that you needed this specific Microsoft software.





You might be able to get a refund from whoever offered the course IF you could somehow prove they didn't inform you in advance that you needed to use Microsoft products for the course. You won't get an antitrust settelement from Microsoft, that much I am sure of.
Reply:It seems that any reasonable person could get access to Microsoft products with minimal effort. Try a library or friend. 90% of PCs have Microsofts products. You don't have to join the crowd, but to hold up completing a course with lack of access as an excuse is lame. Report It
