Dear Cato TechKnowledge reader:

I would like to invite you to "Closing 'Windows' on Antitrust or Opening a
New Era of Intervention? Competition Policy after the Microsoft Settlement,"
a policy forum at the Cato Institute on Wednesday, January 16, 2002 at 11:00
a.m. (luncheon to follow).

While Microsoft and the Justice Department move toward a settlement of their
antitrust case, some state attorneys general vow that we haven't heard the
last from them. What does the future hold for the company and the
competitive environment? Does the settlement represent light at the end of
the tunnel for Microsoft or just a temporary reprieve? Do the new XP
operating system and the Web-centric Hailstorm strategy represent positive
developments or something sinister, as opponents allege? Panelists will
analyze the settlement and square off on the broader role of antitrust
policy in the high-tech economy.

The forum will feature former Solicitor General Kenneth Starr, Jeffrey
Eisenach of the  Progress and Freedom Foundation, Cato's Robert A. Levy, and
Jonathan Zuck of the Association for Competitive Technology. The event will
be moderated by James C. Miller III of Citizens for a Sound Economy.

Cato policy forums and luncheons are free of charge. To register for this
event, please visit http://www.cato.org/events/020116pf.html or call Julie
Johnson by 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, January 15, 2002, at (202) 789-5229, fax her
at (202) 371-0841, or e-mail to jjohnson () cato org.

Yours Sincerely,

Wayne Crews
