### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You Don't Need The Internet With This.
*by A***A on July 5, 2002*

It's kind of strange that Microsoft decided to launch a new version of Encarta so soon, but I think it's really worth it. I previously wrote a review for version 2002, complaining about the five disc included, I am not a fan of disc swapping and I don't have a DVD-drive and I don't plan on buying one. Anywayabout the software, truly "amazing", Encarta 2003 deluxe is included it's been revamped interms of providing users with current information about current day events, Encarta Encyclopedia Deluxe 2003. This comprehensive multimediaencyclopedia makes gathering information trouble-free, through a superior mix of content, technology, educational tools and Web integration. It is really amazing how it provides you with up to date information about current world events. Although you would have to copy 2 GB(gigabytes of content to your hard disk to reduce disk swapping and connect to the Internet to update theinformation. But the thing is how the information is well articulated, informative and lets not forget "current".Encarta Interactive World Atlas. An interactive globe, a variety of map styles and 1.8 million place listings with compelling multimedia content give fresh insight into the people, places and resources that shape our planet. The best interactive multimedia atlas,provides information about countries around and links flawlessly with Encarta to find information about the country whether popultion, climate "your hearts desire". Encarta Dictionary and Thesaurus. Forget your Oxford and Webster dictionary, this informative tool allows users to extend their vocabulary tothe stars, allowing users to be more expressive in their writing and speech.Encarta Africana. For people who want to know more about black history, this award winning information resource is an excellent source of information, that provides the user with concise articulated information, not only in terms of African history but the descendants, who migrated all over the world in such places as the Caribbean as slaves, very amazing tool.Should you upgrade?If you recently spent money buying Encarta Reference Library 2002, don't worry to upgrade to it yet, wait six month's to a year, their is really no reason to rush but if you are still using a previous version of Encarta prior to version 2002 it's a worthy upgrade. For version 2002 users the reason why I don'trecommend you upgrade is because of Microsoft's unpredictable upgrade cycle just as you might purchase this version of Encarta, news about Encarta 2004 start's circulating, I don't want you to make any mistakes wasting your money, here.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The World At Your Fingertips
*by "***" on July 7, 2002*

Encarta 2003 is the best encyclopedia yet! There are so many different features that allow you to see the world at the comfort of your own home. No matter what you want to look up, Encarta has it. There is even Dictionary Tools that comes with it. You can access a Thesaurus, Dictionary, and foreign language translations. There is also a book of quotations, a World Atlas, and Research and Learning Tools. The pictures of the various places makes you feel like your actually there. I feel really priveledged to have received an advanced copy of this amazing encyclopedia. I love this encyclopedia and will continue to use it to look up all the information I will need.
