    Not quite as fancy as the britanica DVD but still very nice and user friendly. The price was conciderably lower.

    This item was given as a gift. The recipient is very pleased with the encyclopedia on CD and uses it regularly. The recipient is very familiar with the hard copy World Book encyclopedia and finds this version includes all that's in the books as well as additional features, such as video, that add to the articles. This item was well worth the price.

    I have been using this reference for years in hard copy - at home, school. and in libraries. It's excellent photos, diagrams, and illustrations make it easy to find usable information quickly. Good organization of information .

    We homeschool and had a fire this year. I lost my world book encyclopedia set due to the fire. I decided instead of investing in a new set of the books, I would buy the cdrom and I LOVE IT! It has updates available for a year and a fraction of the cost!! thank you world book!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Great, when it decides to work.

    This program requires administrator privileges. Right off the bat this is asinine. Software for children should not require this.

    Fortunately you can use "Run As..." so your children can use it without loading up the machine with spyware. You will have to launch it for them every single time.

    Even then it can stop working if the phase of the moon isn't right. It won't report what the problem is, it will just not launch. Online support is of the "send an email and hope you get a response" category. No knowledge-base with previous people's problems in a place that Google can find it.

    It's a very fine product when it does work. An entire encyclopedia, easy to search, lots of videos.

    I owned the 2006 World Book version before I ordered this one. The World Book 2010 is great to use on a notebook computer. I especially like to use it when I am in a location where I am not able to connect to the internet. Of course, if you are able to connect to the internet it is even better. For me, this is a great product.
