## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The new Shorter English Dictionary on CD Rom
*by G***G on 3 June 2013*

First of all I was not sure if the dictionary would run with Windows 7. Windows 7 was not included with the operating systems quoted on the back of the cd cover but it works fine.Installation was a pleasant surprise. I have the full OED on cd and installing that can take quite a while. This was lightning fast. My operating system suggested that installation was faulty but on trying it out it worked fine.I like the set up. It's easy to navigate around, very smooth. The entries, quotations etc. are clear.As for the dictionary itself I have yet to make up my mind as I will need to work with it a little bit. In my opinion the OED is the best English dictionary for fulfilling the most important function of a dictionary - imparting an understanding of a word. This version of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary is less forbidding than the older versions which is all to the good. I expect and hope that this latest edition has not lost the clarity of explanation which is a hallmark of most Oxford dictionaries.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Complete and good value
*by S***S on 12 April 2015*

If you are a professional writer then this is a must for you. Easy to use and complete, this dictionary also settles any arguments you might have with friends over the meaning of words, or their very existence!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Without an optical drive?
*by P***. on 30 April 2020*

Until this year, I had no problem with this excellent program - because all my PCs had optical disc drives. Now I've updated my laptop to a Notebook-type computer, which has no CD drive, I'm stuck. The obvious thing was to plug in an external CD Drive, which I did, but the PC didn't recognise it, so couldn't load the program from there. I copied the program to a memory stick on one of the PCs in my 'man-cave', and the program appeared to load and instal just fine on the new notepad. However, on first run, the SOED requires to see you have the CD loaded: the memory stick is not 'good enough'. What's needed is secure means of downloading and installing off the web, but the program is 12 years old or more and such a method wasn't envisaged. So my notepad will not have access to this fine dictionary.
