I have seen no speculation as to WHY the states are taking a harder line and even why they have incurred high expenses to enter a legal case already represented by the DOJ. Is it possible that they are representing competitors to MSFT and even, heaven forbid, encouraged in their opposition by generous campaign contribuitions?

Close. You see, state Attorneys General are elected, and they all want to run for Governor next. A settlement would be a big anticlimax and they need a big flag to wave in their campaign...
