We review the relevant 10+ parameters associated with inflation and matter content; the relation between LSS and primary and secondary CMB anisotropy probes; COBE constraints on energy injection; current anisotropy band-powers which strongly support the gravitational instability theory and suggest the universe could not have reionized too early. We use Bayesian analysis methods to determine what current CMB and CMB+LSS data imply for inflation-based Gaussian fluctuations in tilted \(\Lambda\)CDM, \(\Lambda\)hCDM and oCDM model sequences with age 11-15 Gyr, consisting of mixtures of baryons, cold (and possibly hot) dark matter, vacuum energy, and curvature energy in open cosmologies. For example, we find the slope of the initial spectrum is within about 5% of the (preferred) scale invariant form when just the CMB data is used, and for \(\Lambda\)CDM when LSS data is combined with CMB; with both, a nonzero value of \(\Omega_\Lambda\) is strongly preferred (\(\approx 2/3\) for a 13 Gyr sequence, similar to the value from SNIa). The \(o\)CDM sequence prefers \(\Omega_{tot}<1 \), but is overall much less likely than the flat \(\Omega_\Lambda \ne 0\) sequence with CMB+LSS. We also review the rosy forecasts of angular power spectra and parameter estimates from future balloon and satellite experiments when foreground and systematic effects are ignored.
