The Microsoft case represents a major application of  traditional
anti-trust law to developing technology.  The Federal District Court's
findings of fact will support a wide variety of legal conclusions and 
remedies. Prof. Brannigan will present a short history of anti-trust 
law, describe the legal filter through which the Court observed the 
evidence, and estimate the potential of various  grounds for appeal.
