Well, since Microsoft was forced to remove Java from Windows because Sun terminated their license to do so (see microsoft.com for the summary and microsoft.com for the details) perhaps the State AGs should begin by suing Sun to reinstate that license.

<< forcing consumers to download Java from the Web instead. >>

Big whoop.

Enforcing that inconvenience is certainly a "big whoop" to Microsoft, which spent hundreds of millions of dollars to create and maintain that inconvenience, along with the inconvenience of having to download Netscape rather than IE.

They gotta make a civil suit out of that?

This has already been ruled, and reruled, a violation of antitrust law. There's no news here.
