Amazon.com Review:
Microsoft's Encarta Reference Library 2003 on DVD is an extremely comprehensive, updatable archive of data on topics from the recent film A Beautiful Mind to the rodent genus Zyzomys. It's paired with a dictionary and thesaurus (one that translates words between English and four other European languages), helping researchers and students track down hard facts on almost any topic imaginable.

To anyone who remembers the first CD-ROM encyclopedias loosed upon the computer-using public in the 1990s--with their tiny, clunky maps and mere handful of digital animations--the scope and capabilities of Encarta Reference Library 2003 will seem like sheer luxury. The mainstay of any encyclopedia is text, of course, and Encarta's articles are as informative, well indexed, and easy to search as ever. Better still, they are more integrated with high-resolution photographs, references to a world history timeline, and film and video clips that genuinely expand on each entry's content. The wealth of tools that accompanies this core of data includes everything from a virtual flyover of Earth's continents to a database of Internet links for further research.

Encarta Reference Library 2003 has features specifically geared to teachers and students, like literature guides that come complete with essay topic suggestions, chart making software, and educational games. The encyclopedia also contains all the information from Microsoft's award-winning Encarta Africana, making it an excellent resource on subjects like the U.S. civil rights struggle, black comedians, and African music.

This stellar treasury of information will be an asset to learners of all ages, something every member of a family can use and appreciate, whether for putting together a report, satisfying curiosity about a particular issue, or browsing for pleasure. --Alyx Dellamonica

- Good back in the day.
I guess better late than never, right? Well this was cool back in the day, but most of the content is still relevant. I mean I've seen people have encyclopedias from the 60's on the shelves.

Rating:

- Clunky
The product is functional; however, the way the information is presented is clunky and navigation is akward. I have tried to use this product with my 10 year-old on projects and 90% of the time Wikipedia is more useful.

- Love the content but it locks up constantly!!!!
I have been a Microsoft Encarta users for years now. Always buying the upadtes every year. For some strange reason Encarta locks after I look up 1 or more pieces of information.

I love the program but I have to restart it every minute or so. Very annoying!

Other friends of mine complain about it being very slow on their system.

Maybe I have an isolated problem on my machine. I hve the latest software updates and a very new Sony laptop. I canït figure out what is ... Read More

- Kind of disappointed
I thought it'd be a complete one but it turned out to be something filled with outdated data. If you read a review about a country (that you know well) besides USA, you'll be disappointed easily.
So, I don't recommend this product. Bad!!
