 Good basic reference, lousy interface. June 17, 2005

The definitions and thesaurus cross referencing are very good. The user interface is quite honestly shameful. Software companies got away with this years ago, but there are now accepted standards for windows user interfaces (e.g keyboard short cuts are missing). Integration with Word 2003 is weak. Numerous bugs and exceptions and very slow.
 Not as good as previous versions August 30, 2006

I just upgraded my Webster software to this version for WinXP. It's ok and does the job it's intended to perform. But I liked the previous versions that displayed both the definitions and the thesaurus in parallel panels. Just a matter of display preference, so it's not that important to every user.

Three is no other dictionary that I can rely on more than Merriam Webster dictionary. This new edition, 11th, got all updated words used for internet and new high tech terms with accurate vocal sound. I saw some other dictionary with sound, but this dictionary got most accurate sound that I can trust. For some words that have two sounds, it pronounces both of them.
I can not work without this dictionary.
 Doesn't work with Hyper Threading Dell August 18, 2004

this dictionary and thesaurus are very important for a pro writer and I just can not get it to load on my new Dell XPS with Hyper Threading Pentium 4. Called Dell. No help... they don't know how to fix as HT tech is so new. Any clues? Right now I have my old system networked to run just Webster's, but still have to cross the room to look at it and can't cut and paste since the big Dell doesn't recognize WNW. Yiiikes. I know this isn't a newslist, but if anyone has a HT Pentium 4 and got it working on yours, please contact me at saynitso@lunchezine.com. Thanks in advance for suggestions. It is the best dictionary and thesaurus on the market as far as I can tell... if you can get it to work.
Not as good as it stated November 10, 2006

This dictionary is not for the person who English is his second language. It does not have enough sentence examples to let you know how to use each entry word. In addtion, the micro doesn't work well with MS Word.
