 Archaic words March 29, 2007

THese are very hard to find as definitions--however, a full text search often locates them in their original context....THat is if you have a working middle-English vocabulary!
Otherwise a very fine aquisition for a High School ENglish teacher.

Carry with you on your laptop, what once was luminous volume of books lining your library wall.....and at a fraction of the cost! Everyone should have Encyclopedia Britannica loaded on their computer. This is especially important for people without access to the internet and all families with students. Easy to search and easy to read once you have found it. In many, perhaps most, cases it beats searching the WEB for the answer to your question or for doing your homework.
 Does not work with Windows Vista March 11, 2007
0 out of 6 found this review helpful
I bought the program because it was advertised as one of the programs that would run under Vista. So was not the case and your support told me to return the program to you.
I did so long ago but I haven't heard anything from you yet.

EB software does not work with Windows Vista March 3, 2007
4 out of 11 found this review helpful
EB own words: "Unfortunately, at this time the Britannica software is not compatible with Windows Vista. We are working on developing another version of the 2007 software that will work on Windows Vista and we are planning to release this version in the upcoming months. Please check back with us in another month or so and we should have some more information about the Vista-compatible software. But, it is entirely possible that we will not have Windows Vista compatible version of the 2007 product available and that we will wait until the development of the 2008 software." They do NOT offer a reasonable on-line subscription.
DO NOT BUY FROM CDROMUSA!!!!! February 24, 2007
1 out of 8 found this review helpful
I purchased this product and could not get it to run. Spent hours with tech support before they told me to return it (I have 42 pages of log to support this). Well, CDROMUSA requires you to contact them first via e-mail to get permission to return anyhting, and conveniently , they're not taking any more e-mails: their mailbox is full or something. So, I'm stuck with a bad product and they're getting away with it. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!
