Title: Horrible Interface/Great content
Review: While the content may be great, the interface is a joke. The whole application is done 100% in Java. This has some very negative side effects. The worst problem is that the Java makes the entire interface extremely sluggish, even on a high end machine. Additionally, standard Windows interface features don't exist, like the ability to scroll text with the mouse wheel. Also, there are no configuration options whatsoever, except the ability to change the text size to one of three sizes. The font used is blurry. All fonts are my computer are crystal clear, but this one is blurry. Therefore, the only way to read the articles is to set the text size to medium. Also, the pictures tend to be too small. The interface itself is horrid comared to even MS Encarta 1995 edition, which is sad. That's too bad, because the content is head and shoulders above Encarta, and there is an article on just about everything you can imagine.
