5.0 out of 5 stars best dictionary on cd-rom, 3 Jan 2003
By Erica Ford (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This is the best dictionary on cd-rom for 3 reasons.
First, it is optimized for 1024 x 768 resolution. Version 3 of the Complete OED on Cd-Rom is optimized for 800 x 600. Also, with this version, you can install the whole dictionary on your computer. There is a copy protection scheme I won't talk about.
What I want to focus on is the quality of this publication. For 99% of the users out there, this dictionary will satisfy your needs. You don't need the complete OED. It is also reasoanbly priced. Finally, there are times when you don't have access to the Internet and you need to look up a word and don't have access to the hard bound version. So get this CD-ROM!

5.0 out of 5 stars Oxford Flagship of english dictionaries, 26 Jul 2005
By Dr. M. I. Saleem (England UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I would strongly recommend it to linguaphiles (word loving people), language scholars and anyone who does not have access to OED online. Software is easy to fully install on hard drive. Search options are powerful. Word of the day is an add-on feature. Beware of a similar software name called New shorter oxford dictionary as that is in fact 1993 (previous edition)
