Microsoft Encarta 2009 Premium Complete (Encyclopedia)
Microsoft Encarta is a digital multimedia encyclopedia published by Microsoft Corporation since 1993. As of 2008, the complete English version, Encarta Premium consists of more than 62,000 articles, numerous photos and illustrations, music clips, videos, interactivities, timelines, maps and atlas, and homework tools, and is available on the World Wide Web by yearly subscription or by purchase on DVD-ROM or multiple CD-ROMs. Many articles could also be viewed online free of charge, a service supported by advertisements.
Microsoft publishes similar encyclopedias under the Encarta trademark in various languages, including German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese. Localized versions may contain contents licensed from available national sources and may contain more or less content than the full English version. For example, the Dutch version has content from the Dutch Winkler Prins encyclopedia.
In March 2009, Microsoft announced it was discontinuing the Encarta disc and online versions.
History
Following the first multimedia Academic American Encyclopedia, Microsoft initiated Encarta by purchasing non-exclusive rights to the Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia, incorporating it into its first edition in 1993. (Funk & Wagnalls continued to publish revised editions for several years independently of Encarta, but then ceased printing in the late 1990s.) Funk & Wagnalls had been a third-tier encyclopedia available at cut rates in grocery stores, where volumes were sold individually as well as in one collected set. The name Encarta was created for Microsoft by an advertising agency, which decided that it sounded better than Funk & Wagnalls. Microsoft had originally approached Encyclopædia Britannica, the gold standard of encyclopedias for over a century, in the 1980s, but it declined, believing its print media sales would be hurt; however the Benton Foundation was forced to sell Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. at below book value in 1996 when the print sales could no longer compete with Encarta and the Microsoft distribution channel which gave away free copies with computer systems.
In the late 1990s, Microsoft bought Collier’s Encyclopedia and New Merit Scholar’s Encyclopedia from Macmillan and incorporated them into Encarta. Thus the current Microsoft Encarta can be considered the successor of the Funk and Wagnalls, Collier, and New Merit Scholar encyclopedias. None of these formerly successful encyclopedias remained in print for long after being merged into Encarta.
Microsoft introduced several regional versions of Encarta translated into languages other than English. For example, the Brazilian Portuguese version was introduced in 1999 and suspended in 2002. The Spanish version is somewhat smaller than the English one, at 42,000 articles.
In July 2006, Websters Multimedia, a Bellevue, Washington subsidiary of London-based Websters International Publishers, took over maintenance of Encarta from Microsoft. The last version is Encarta Premium 2009, released in August 2008.
Microsoft announced in March 2009 that they will cease to sell Microsoft Student and all editions of Encarta Premium software products worldwide by June 2009, citing changes in the way people seek information and in the traditional encyclopedia and reference material market as the key reasons behind the termination. Updates for Encarta will be offered until October 2009. Additionally, MSN Encarta web sites will be discontinued by October 31, 2009, with the exception of Encarta Japan which will be discontinued on December 31, 2009. Existing MSN Encarta Premium (part of MSN Premium) subscribers will be refunded.
The Wikimedia foundation tried to contact Microsoft about “making Encarta data available under a free license, so that some of it could be incorporated into Wikipedia”.
Contents and features
Encarta’s Visual Browser
Encarta’s standard edition includes approximately 50,000 articles, with additional images, videos and sounds. The premium editions contain over 62,000 articles and other multimedia content, such as 25,000 pictures and illustrations, over 300 videos and animations, and an interactive atlas with 1.8 million locations. Its articles are integrated with multimedia content and may have a collection of links to websites selected by its editors. A sidebar may display alternative views or original materials relevant to the topic. Encarta also supports closed captioning for the hearing impaired. A separate program, called Encarta Research Organizer was included in early versions for gathering and organizing information and constructing a Word document-based report. Later versions included Encarta Researcher which was a browser plugin to organize information from Encarta articles and web pages into research projects.
Microsoft had a separate product known as Encarta Africana which was an encyclopedia of black history and culture. It was integrated into the standard Encarta Reference suite starting with the 2001 version. Encarta 2002 and onwards feature 3D Virtual Tours of ancient structures, for example the Acropolis; 2-dimensional panoramic images of world wonders or cities; and a virtual flight program which moves the user over landscape. Version 2002 also introduced the ability to install the entire encyclopedia locally to the hard disk drive to prevent frequent swapping of discs. Encarta 2003 incorporated literature guides and book summaries, foreign language translation dictionaries, a Homework Center and Chart Maker.
Encarta’s Visual Browser, available since the 2004 version, presents a user with a list of related topics. A collection of 32 Discovery Channel videos have also since been added. Encarta 2005 introduced another program called Encarta Kids aimed at children to make learning fun.
Encarta also includes a trivia game called “MindMaze” (accessible through Ctrl+Z) in which the player explores a castle by answering questions whose answers can be found in the encyclopedia’s articles.
For years, Encarta came in three primary software editions: Basic, Premium, and Reference Library (price and features in that order.) Beginning with Encarta 2006, however, when Websters Multimedia took over its maintenance, Encarta became a feature of Microsoft Student as the premier Microsoft educational software program. Although it is possible to purchase only the Encarta encyclopedia separately, Microsoft Student bundles together Encarta Premium with Microsoft Math (a graphing calculator program) and Learning Essentials, which provides templates for Microsoft Office. In addition, the Reference Library was discontinued, absorbed into a newer, more comprehensive Premium package. Encarta’s user interface is shared with Microsoft Student, and has been streamlined to reduce clutter with only a Search box which returns relevant results; however it is no longer possible to simply browse all the encyclopedia articles alphabetically.
World Atlas
The dynamic maps are generated with the same engine that powered Microsoft MapPoint software. The map is a virtual globe that one can freely rotate and magnify to any location down to major streets for big cities. The globe has multiple surfaces displaying political boundaries, physical landmarks, and statistical information. One can selectively display different sized cities, various geological or man-made features and reference lines in a map.
The maps contain hyperlinks to related articles (”Map Trek”) and also supports a “Dynamic Sensor” that provides the latitude, longitude, place name, population and local time for any point on the globe. Encarta also generates a visible-light moon atlas with names of major craters and hyperlinks. However, it does not include a planetarium. In addition to database generated maps, many other illustrative maps in Encarta (”Historical Maps”) are drawn by artists. Some more advanced maps are interactive: for example, the large African map for Africana can display information such as political boundaries or the distribution of African flora.
Encarta Dictionary
When Encarta was released as part of the “Reference Suite” in 1998 (through to 2000), Microsoft bundled “Microsoft Bookshelf” with the other programs (Encarta Encyclopedia 98 Deluxe Edition, Encarta Desk Atlas, Encarta Virtual Globe 98, and Encarta Research Organizer). However, this was redundant.
Bookshelf was discontinued in 2000, and in later Encarta editions (Encarta Suite 2000 and onwards), Bookshelf was replaced with a dedicated Encarta Dictionary, a superset of the printed edition.
There was some controversy over the decision, since the dictionary lacks the other books provided in Bookshelf which many found to be a useful reference, such as Columbia Dictionary of Quotations (replaced with a quotations section in Encarta that links to relevant articles and people) and an Internet Directory (although now a moot point since many of the sites listed in offline directories aren’t around anymore).
Regional versions
Robert McHenry, while Editor-in-Chief of the Encyclopædia Britannica, criticized Encarta for differences in factual content between national versions of Encarta, accusing Microsoft of “pandering to local prejudices” instead of presenting subjects objectively. An article written by Bill Gates addressed the nature of writing encyclopedia for different regions.
Technology
Microsoft Student with Encarta Premium 2007 running on Windows XP.
Before the emergence of the world wide web for information browsing, Microsoft recognized the importance of having an engine that supported a multimedia markup language, full text search, and extensibility using software objects. The hypertext display, hyperlinking and search software was created by a team of CD-ROM Division developers in the late 1980s who designed it as a generalized engine for uses as diverse as interactive help, document management systems and as ambitious as a multimedia encyclopedia. Encarta was able to use various Microsoft technologies because it was extensible with software components for displaying unique types of multimedia information. For example, a snap in map engine is adapted from its MapPoint software. More information on the hypertext and search engine used by Encarta may be found in the Microsoft Bookshelf article.
Unlike Microsoft Office, Encarta disc version only supports Microsoft Windows with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Encarta 98 was the last version to be released for the Macintosh. However, people who use other operating systems may still access Encarta’s website through an Internet connection.
Encarta uses database technologies to generate much of its multimedia content. For example, Encarta generates each zoomable map from a global geographic information system database on demand.
When a user uses the copy and paste function of Microsoft Windows on Encarta on more than five words, Encarta automatically appends a copyright boilerplate message after the paste.
User editing
Early in 2005, the online Encarta started to allow users to suggest changes to existing articles. Articles are not immediately updated. Instead, user feedback is submitted to Encarta’s editors for review, copyediting, and approval. Contributors are not paid for their submissions.
Chatbot
Encarta’s content is accessible using a conversational interface on Windows Live Messenger via the MSN Bot “Encarta Instant Answers”. The bot can answer many encyclopedia related questions directly in the IM window. It uses short sentences from the Encarta website, and sometimes displays full articles in the Internet Explorer-based browser on the right. It also can complete simple maths and advanced algebra problems. This service is also available in German, Spanish, French and Japanese.
Live Search
Users can get two free hours on Encarta by using Microsoft’s search engine at Live.com. It is done by searching “Definition: (word)” and accessing a link leading to Encarta Online.

Windows TinyXP Platinum Edition 2
********************************************************************************
***********
To install TinyXP from this CD, set your PC
in the BIOS to boot from your CD-ROM drive.
Only install this operating system onto a
freshly formatted partition or hard disk.
There is no upgrade option available, because the option is
removed. You do not need any product key in this release, the
installation of TinyXP is unattended, apart from in the beginning
where you choose which drive or partition to install to.
All installations are set to US English.
(This can be changed after installation)
———————————————————————
1 – TinyXP With IE/OE/WMP (With Drivers)
2 – TinyXP With IE/OE/WMP (Without Drivers)
3 – TinyXP Without IE/OE/WMP (With Drivers)
4 – TinyXP Without IE/OE/WMP (Without Drivers)
5 – Boot Into Acronis Backup + Restore
IE = Internet Explorer 7 Web Browser
OE = Outlook Express Email Client
WMP = Windows Media Player 11

- For Microsoft fans…
The first two options include Internet Explorer 7 Web Browser, Outlook
Express Email Client and Windows Media Player 11 so Windows XP is up to
date and as Bill Gates intended.
- For people who don’t like Microsoft programs…
The second two options do not include Internet Explorer 7, Outlook Express,
or Windows Media Player 11. In the second two options where IE/OE/WMP are
removed, Opera v9.21 is installed to replace Internet Explorer and Mozilla
Thunderbird v2.0.0.0 is installed to replace Outlook Express.
- Automatic Driver Installation…
Options one and three both include drivers to cover the following: Chipset,
CPU, Ethernet LAN Cards, SATA (Mass Storage) and Wireless Ethernet.
- No Drivers Included…
Options two and four do not contain those drivers – this is in case you
have SATA problems with the first or third options, or if you just want
to install your own drivers.
- Acronis Backup + Restore…
Option five allows you to backup your existing partition(s) before
installing Windows, or you can quickly restore a backup made previously
with Acronis. This version of Acronis True Image Home is safe to use
if you want to back up Windows Vista.
