From my #bookshelf: Arguably #Microsoft's best product ever, the Encarta World English Dictionary printed in 1999.It is still one of my favourite printed dictionaries for the English #language. Tons of illustrations, really good definitions that can be understood by non-native speakers and an innovative approach that combines traditional dictionary definitions with very concise encyclopedic entries.Can you imagine today's #ai-infested Microsoft creating an educational tool like this?I can't, but I find it interesting that back then someone in the company decided that investing money in customers' education was worthwhile and they secured approval from the higher-ups.They probably left the company long ago, but their legacy still lives on.
