Abstract

On February 14, 1995, Judge Stanley Sporkin of U.S. District Court for District of Columbia stunned U.S. Government, Microsoft Corporation, computer software industry, and legal community by refusing to approve consent decree agreed to by Department of Justice and Microsoft in settlement of an antitrust case.1 Outraged critics accused judge of trying to make himself into czar of software who would wreak more havoc on personal computers than any computer virus.2 Fuming editors branded him the King Canute of federal judges, trying to stop onrushing tide with command.3 A former head of Antitrust Division of Department of Justice blasted decision as a judicial hijacking.4 Dire predictions erupted that this populist prince could upend an entire industry and with it, an entire economy.5
