Advantages: massive content on one disk
Disadvantages: none
I use the standard edition of the encyclopaedia Britannia and have been delighted with my results.
The one CD contains over 73000 articles. 4000 photos and illustrations (as opposed to 8500 in the deluxe edition) and internet links.
I am very happy with the standard edition as there is only one cd so there is no need to keep swapping between disks.
A lot of encyclopedias come with a variety of sound effects, slide shows and pictures, however these distract you and for me have limited appeal, and are more useful for children.
The content is excellent and the search engine is very througher, and so much more comprehensive than the published books. It is brilliant to be able to look for words or phrases that may be in the middle of any of the 73000 articles. I use this software almost daily, and feel no need to upgrade it yet.
