What our customer's say!

"A COMPUTER BUILDER", MY DAUGHTER LOVED THIS PROGRAM SO MUCH BOUGHT HER THE NEW 2005 EDITION FOR HER NEW PC AND LEFT THIS RUNNING ON HER OLDER PC. THOU IT DOES ADD FEW FILES AND WILL MAKE A MANUAL SCAN WITH NORTON ANTI VIRUS RUN LITTLE LONGER THE AUO SCAN NOT AFFECTED. THOU SOME PEOPLE WINE ABOUT AMOUNT OF FILES ADDED IT IS A EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM NOT A GAME AND RUNS VERY SMOOTH AND EASY TO USE. MY DAUGHTER AT AGE 9 HAS NO PROBLEMS LOOKING STUFF UP. VERY USEFUL AND HANDY PROGAM TO HAVE FOR ANYONE WITH KIDS IN SCHOOL. ANYONE WHO KNOCKS IT FOR ADDING FILES OR MAKING VIRUS SCAN ( NORTON ONLY ) RUN LITTLE LONGER MIGHT NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL THEMSELF.WOULD OF GIVEN FIVE STARTS EXCEPT LOAD TIME ON FIRST INSTALL DOES TAKE AWILE AFTER THAT IT IS FINE RUNS VERY SMOOTH ON WINDOWS 98 THREW XP PRO. IF YOU GOT KIDS IN SCHOOL BUY IT I AM GLAD I DID

"Digital Albatross", Horrible interface, startling paucity of content... and here's the kicker. Encyclopaedia Britannica creates (and I kid you not here) 1.97 MILLION files for your anti-virus software to try to deal with every time you do a system scan. To put this in perspective, after un-installing Britannica my machine dropped from 2,016,819 files to 41,209... and mind you, my computer is loaded - I've got about 50 GB of (non-Britannica) data on my drives! In real time, we are talking about a difference of SEVERAL HOURS for Norton to complete a full system scan.

On top of this, I hate to say it, but Encarta has better and more thorough content (and as a Ph.D. student in cultural history, I can assure you that I am used to evaluating content under awkward circumstances). I would also hasten to add that I am not a fan of Bill Gates, so it is with a certain amount of pain that I have to admit that his product is FAR superior in this case.
