Customer Reviews of Encyclopedia Britannica 2006 Ultimate Reference Suite Win/Mac DVD
A world of complete knowledge My father bought me the Encyclopaedia Briannica 2006, ultimate reference suite. When I install it on my computer, I became extremely happy because it contains everything I needed. It help me to do a lot of projects and home works. It is good for students like me. Really it is a world of knowledge. It's new videos, images, content etc. are very usefull. So I say that everyone should buy this for you and your child. It will help you to know everything in the world. Before buying this I have the Encyclopaedia Britannica 2003, deluxe edition. When comparing these two, The level of 2006, ultimate reference suite is very high. It is little slow, but it is not a problem when compared to the content inside it.
An Overpriced Joke
If I could give this excuse for a modern encyclopedia less than one star I would gladly do so. If you can purchase it for ten dollars or less (including shipping), then consider buying it. Otherwise it is a rip-off of dubious value.

<
>The "advanced-level" articles for students and adults are of mediocre quality at best - and very biased, to the point of shameless bigotry in some cases. Britannica exists to inform people, not to pass final (and laughably arbitrary) judgement upon things. However, Britannica "Ultimate" Reference Suite DVD users will find Britannica to be copiously replete with categorical pontifications regarding a wide range of topics; and especially so in respect to ethnography, ethnobotany, and mythology.

<
>The Britannica Reference Suite DVD also has no shortage of embedded propaganda and subtle NLP persuasion techniques. Caveat emptor.
<
>
<
>Basically the Britannica Reference Suite software is lacklustre in every regard and of moderate use (at best) for anything beyond the academic needs of 10th graders. And, perchance, if you do have a child and are considering purchasing such a research tool as the Britannica 2006 "Ultimate" Referance Suite DVD markets itself as being, please encourage your child to always bear in mind that although Britannica assuredly presents itself as The Gospel, it is not.

disappointed & it seems to slow my computer down
I had high hopes for this product. There is no doubt that the content is good , but accessing it is the problem. The full product takes over 4GB which is to be expected , but when it is loaded it really does slow my computer down & I don't have an old system.
<
>Also , it is not as quick as wikipedia. The recent debate about which is the better system is still running. Overall, I wld trust EB over the free system , but I do find the free wikipedia(sp?) easier to use & less of a burden on my computer.
<
>Overall , if you need a reference system I would find it hard to recommend. I have actually taken off my laptop as it really was 'boggin' every thing else down.
