Restrictive update policy and extremely consistent performance

A useful glossary on the hard disk of the computer may be expedient, can also draw on a wealth of information, especially when no Internet connection is available. The Brockhaus multimedia advertises to provide not only purely lexical information a wealth of multimedia content available to entertain and make information understandable and clear.

Anyone who is in the current version of this knowledge-package targeted to the search, is very quickly disappointed. The paucity of information offered by this high-priced lexicon is often amazing: you hardly extends beyond a pale word explanation. Who thinks he has it to do with the digital counterpart of an encyclopedia in 20 or more volumes, is sadly mistaken Knowledge amount of four-volume work will probably reach only narrowly. That is, about '' Hegel '' you can find out roughly one-tenth of what has Wikipedia to information. Who, however, the definition of a term like '' attention '' searches, is completely empty. The very name 'Multimedia' is incidentally also apply to the presentation of a flag or a simple logo.

The user interface as such is bulky, hiding the functions for individual settings and rather rudimentary. There is no pleasure, just once in the Brockhaus multimedia to '' surfing ''. Since it is more fun to browse through my old DTV Brockhaus 1997.

The MacOS X support is deficient. The Brockhaus 2007 version denied under the new OS X service. The service by Brockhaus claiming first, the Mac operating system will not support. Faced with the OS X logo on the packaging, he corrects himself to the effect that only the current at time of publication version of the operating system will support. Friendly but referenced the opportunity to buy a (paid) update. A software that would allow the use of existing data is generally not available. In plain English: The loading a new operating system has most probably the uselessness of Brockhaus multimedia consequence - but comforting way is later available for purchase earlier or the next update. - Anyone who uses such a policy update at the small crowd of Mac users, the much higher income, which is caused by a new version of the Windows operating system will certainly not be missed.

My conclusion: Anyone looking for a comprehensive, in-depth and detailed information bidder Encyclopedia, should look elsewhere.
