Good

6.7

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 6.7 out of 10
Review date: 08/19/05
Release date: 07/05/05

The good: Cleaner interface that lets you better search and sort information; useful Dictionary Tools; extensive articles and multimedia; lower price than last year.

The bad: No user guide; no Homework Help; intrusive data collection.

The bottom line: Encarta is an addictive multimedia treat, once you figure out how to use it and fend off the long arm of Microsoft's marketing team.
