  SuperKids Software Review of Encarta Encyclopedia Deluxe 99.
Potential encyclopedia buyers must know if the product they are considering will provide the information required to fill their families' needs.
Encarta Encyclopedia Deluxe 99 succeeded in answering only one of our kid’s research trial questions, however the answer is so delightfully complete, and the encyclopedia itself so amazingly thorough, that our testers raved about the product despite this shortcoming.
Encarta 99 includes three disks, the first of which is used solely for installation of the program.

 Encarta Reference Library 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Following the success of Encarta and Bookshelf, most all the other well known encyclopedia vendors, such as World Book and Compton's, began to transform the selling of their encyclopedias with their own efforts to produce a CD ROM version of their set.
This transformation of encyclopedia reference material is an excellent example of the powerful potential inherent in the integration of computers with learning, and how this type of substantive information can be made to excite, intrigue, and challenge.
While Microsoft says the Encarta dictionary is the first newly written English dictionary in 30 years, in truth, this is of course a very different type of dictionary, one built around the availability of rich, dynamic interactivity that can only be found in such an electronic version of a dictionary.

 Encarta 2004 Reference Library Review
The best thing about this encyclopedia is that it was built for the PC from the ground up.
Also, at this time, Microsoft provides no upgrade path for the Encarta encyclopedia.  That means that to get the most up-to-date information you have to purchase a new version each year.
Yet when you remember the cost of purchasing bound encyclopedias and the year books that you needed to purchase to keep that encyclopedia up-to-date, the cost really doesn’t seem so bad.
