Continuing Twists In Microsoft, Intel Cases

An Anonymous Coward writes: "New York Attorney General Elliot Spitzer and California Attorney General Bill Lockyer have threatened to pursue their own sanctions against Microsoft if they conclude that the Justice department isn't being tough enough. Amongst other things, they demand that Windows XP "receive close scrutiny in arriving at a judicially ordered remedy. Go NY!"" NaughtyusMaximus points us to this message at Anandtech about Via reacting to Intel's patent-infringement suit by turning around and suing Intel -- for patent infringement -- in Taiwan and the U.S.. Via is also countersuing Intel in England.

Re:Being tired in multiple places?

It's not an issue. MS is being sued in a single Federal court case by the DOJ AND several States. The multiple jurisdiction rule does not apply. As parties to the suit, the various States do have a say in what any settlement is.
