If a company sends you a cheque by mistake then you are not entitled to the
money. Just as if you found a large sum of money in the street - it isn't
yours. How many times have you read about people who've had money
accidentally deposited to their accounts who went and spent it believing
they had a right to something that wasn't there. The law is pretty clear.
The morality is even clearer.

Well however they determined that some were underpaid, and if they
legitamantly where then it could be said that they "deserve" and should get
more money. Those that got overpaid, no one has said by how much, which
would be interesting to know. And second, they cashed the check and
microsoft sent the check and allowed it to be cashed. They should be allowed
to keep the money as technically they both made a deal and both parties
accepted it. And from what i could gather from the articles microsoft is
"asking" for the money back, not "demandinga" which leads me to believe that
there is little legal action they could do to get the money back.
Just my 10 cents

Then I must be an idiot.
Mistakes happen. Are you saying the ones who were underpaid (and who are
asking for an adjustment) are also idiots?
