Pay attention to what you purchase
There is no doubt that the [$] price is a good incentive to give Encarta Deluxe 2004 a try. Before you do spend a bit of time examining all the available encyclopedias and most important put time into figuring who will be the primary user. If research and detail is required consider spending a few dollars more and getting the Encarta 2004 Reference Library or consider Encyclopedia Britanica; possibly even World Book.I mention this because Encarta does a reasonable job as an encyclopedia but ...

My Teen Loves It As Much As I Do!
My 10th grader wanted an update on our Encarta 2000 and I noticed that the Encarta Deluxe Edition 2004 was available from Amazon for under $20 after rebates. What a deal! This is a great reference source featuring panoramic location photos, instant bar graph country comparisons and loads of historical information. It sure beats paying hundreds of dollars for a set of dust collecting book encyclopedias and it is a heck of a lot quicker than spending hours surfing the net for basic research and...

Good, but better Encarta Reference Library
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.

Great resource for kids
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 th...

For kids
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 .

Not a good product, Microsoft.
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 M...
