Summary: Actually, I thought this was great
Review: I just wanted to say that I've been using this software at work (with Office 2000, on a computer with a Pentium III) for a while now, and so many people have been using mine that we're ordering more copies for everyone else. I've never had a problem with it and the one time I had to call tech support, they were extremely helpful. The MW link did indeed work. Love it, love it, love it. My assistant is getting it for his kids.

Summary: For users with the hard drive space ...
Review: In addition to the authoritative, comprehensive nature of this audio CD dictionary/thesaurus, the Merriam-Webster electronic dictionary has an advantage (over American Heritage, for example) that I was able to copy the pronunciation files "by hand" from the CD ROM to the default loading directory. Therefore, I can use the dictionary full-featured entirely off hard drive C:, which frees the CD ROM for concomitant applications such as background music accompaniment. Note that this comment applies to my current version, which is 1.5 (I am buying a newer version now).
