Overall, I’d say that Microsoft Student 2008 is very helpful to students across all the grades it targets (late middle school through high school). It has some quirks, but not many, and it offers plenty of varied articles, lots of links, and tons of examples. It’s well worth the price, and I’d recommend it to any student looking for help on a project, needing inspiration for a book report, or just wanting to spruce up an assignment. There’s really no other product available that includes everything that Student does. Sure, you’ll find other software for specific math areas such as Algebra, and there are other online encyclopedias, such as Britannica.com, compiled by accredited experts, but these alone cost more than Student. Nothing else gives you nearly the wealth of tools and resources you find in Microsoft Student with Encarta Premium 2008, making it a PC Magazine Editors’ Choice for educational software.
Microsoft Student with Encarta Premium 2008 is available at an academic discount price of $41.
