Summary: Good Product...
Comment: I am very glad that I purchased the Microsoft Student with Encarta Premium 2008, because I have already used the product, and have found it useful for my essays for college, and for other information. It's been pretty easy to use.

Summary: Microsoft has poor customer service
Comment: After waiting on the phone for 15 minutes, transferred twice, one dropped call, and another 15 minute call, I finally learned that this product is not available for purchase at any retail outlet and only available for download. This is not a good option when searching for gift giving ideas. The product seems very impressive. However, the current distribution method via internet download only, at first may seem to be convenient actually diminishes convenience when it is not available for potential customers wishing to purchase through traditional retail outlets (including internet purchase). Competing products, though of lesser quality and appeal, have gained my patronage simply because of availability. Overall, my experience with trying to buy a Microsoft product has been terrible. Buy Britannica.

Comment: Like the previous edtion 2007,this edition is a very helpful tool for high school students.Guess few students will go to the library anymore nowadays as a result of such enormous help for their homeworks and projects which they can easily find by using the software like this.

Summary: Great for College and Graduate Students- Graphing Calculator the best feature
Comment: Ok- I've been using this product for a couple of years and it's proved indispensable. Granted, most of the homework templates are useless past the 6th grade...but the graphing calculator alone is worth buying this product. I am able to use my laptop on team projects for business calculus and business statistics classes-- it's a lot easier to swith between Student's graphing calculator and Excel than it is to squint at a little black and grey 'etch-a-sketch' screen (handheld graphing calculator). The calculator gives you the answer in both decimal and fraction form (makes everybody jealous). It has an equation solver, integrating, solving matrices, permutations, variance analysis are soooo much easier with this than navigating through 50 menus on your TI-84. You get a nice large work area to input your problems... Oh, and did I mention you can copy and paste your problems into Word-- and then edit them with equation editor? (another time saver)--- AND you can save the 'worksheets' with all of the problems you're working on- another great feature if you're going to re-use the same equation with different variables.
Ok- as for the other stuff.... the translator feature is great- It has a Spanish, French, Italian, and German dictionary- shows you similarly spelled words in case you're unsure of the whole word. The unit conversion tool is pretty cool, but not a huge feature. (I use google's coversion tool and m-w.com more often for dictionary lookup). Lastly, most of my classes don't allow me to cite Wikipedia in my papers- so I use the Encarta encyclopedia as a source. The encyclopedia offers interactive maps and video clips with most of the articles-- the pictures are hi-res too if you need to illustrate your document..... This software is worth every penny- though I'd wait for it to go on sale at Best Buy in August for $20 (always goes on sale before school). The other software that I use in conjunction with Student is OneNote.

I will not recommended to any other parent. the software is too complecated and not userfriendly at all and homework help there is none
