Last week's shock decision by the US Department of Justice to can the antitrust case against Microsoft has angered a number of state attorneys general, who have been battling the software giant side-by-side with the DoJ.
Both Californian Attorney General Bill Lockyer and Elliot Spitzer from New York said that they might pursue their own sanctions if the Justice Department gives Microsoft an easy ride. The duo said Friday they would "press for remedies that go beyond those requested by the Department of Justice" if necessary.
