 Rating:  - Great encyclopedia, bad softwareAs an encyclopedia, it does a great job. At this price you get absolutely a great amount of and CORRECT knowledge. Dictionary, atlas, timelines and online updates are all good features. I'm not a fun of BrainStormer, but that's fine. As a simple database + search software, sometimes taking up ~60% CUP power on my laptop with a 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo is unbearable. The skin looks nice but I can't read the words on the tag. Searching is slow, not sure it's due to the graphic ... Read More Rating:  - Britannica 2009I could forgive many issues related to usability if, at its core, this was a great encyclopedia, but it is not. On the searches that I have done so far, the Britannica 2009 returned less useful material than my old Encarta 2003 which installed, loads, and generally just works better and faster than this product. A couple of warnings: First, I now notice (too late) that some other reviews seem to have been generated by professional 5-star plants that have provide nothing but rave ...

Encarta still wins on UI, but Britannica really is much improved - the UI is better, you can print whole articles, and the brainstormer feature is kind of interesting. But ...

Thanks Britannica, Thanks Amazon Tony C Rating: - THE Encyclopedia!The Encyclopedia Britannica 2009 (established in 1768), both in its Ultimate (now also called "Student and Home") and Deluxe versions, builds on the success of its completely revamped previous editions in 2006-8. The rate of innovation in the last three versions was impressive and welcome. It continues apace in this rendition with Britannica Biographies (Great Minds and Leaders), Classical Music (500 audio files arranged by composer), and a great Workspace for Project Management (a kind of friendly digital ...
