 Not a good product, Microsoft. March 17, 2008
Elisabeth R. Liggett
I do not like this product because it's video is garbled, it gorges hard drive space,it doesn't have world flights, and the articles do not have much detail; they are very short. And if you do not have enough hard drive space to copy all data over to your hard drive, you have to swap CD's to find data (Not very convinient, it scratches CD's and is annoying to do a million times.)I sent it back to Microsoft on their 45-day money back garuntee, and they will send my money back. I will be getting Microsoft Encrta 2004 Library Reference Edition.If I were you, I would do the same thing. If you buy this product you are doing the wrong thing. I do not like anything about this product. Do not get it.

Very disappointing product from Microsoft .very light in content, short articles, very few animations and videos. I'll call it initiation encyclopedia .may be its good for children from 3 to 12 years old but absolutely not for the whole family as stated.I'm university student and I find Encarta Deluxe Encyclopedia 2004 useless .
 Great resource for kids April 22, 2005

My two boys love this! It's perfect for researching school assignments. I appreciate having a reliable resource that enables them to do research by themselves, without always having to go on the internet, which can be a safety concern for parents. The graphics are wonderful, and the audio files add to the learning experience.
Both boys have asked to "Go on Encarta" just for fun! They have spent hours just reading and looking up topics of interest. What could possibly be better than that?
 Good, but better Encarta Reference Library May 29, 2004

It is better to buy Encarta Reference Library, because it has more text and features (Atlas and so on). I have reviewed it if you want extra information. The system requirements are about the same.

Encarta allows students to retrieve current information on thousands of topics. The reference tools are great for research papers and slide show presentations. Students can cross-reference the Internet with little effort. As well as, export information into Word and Power Point.
The software delivers reliable content through multimedia, articles, web links, images and maps. And still yet, information is given on sidebars and timelines throughout. Encarta allows students to access up to date reference materials with ease. Microsoft updates the software automatically to keep information accurate.
I feel that Encarta is one resource every secondary level classroom should have and utilize.
