I have fond memories of Microsoft's Encarta program. It was one of the first online encyclopedic tools and offered amazing visuals and backgrounds on subjects we used to read about in Encyclopedia Britannica. Well, yesterday Microsoft pulled the plug on the product....mostly in response to the dominance of Wikipedia. The story was covered in the NYT article: Microsoft Encarta Dies After Long Battle With Wikipedia.
