I have both Compton's ver1.01w and Grolier's ver1. Both are for
Windows. I like the interface and feel of the Grolier's much better
than the Compton's. The Grolier's articles can be printed directly from
the program whereas the Compton's articles must be copied to the
clipboard (max 5000 words) and then printed out after you exit the
program. Both of these are older versions which I recently bought at a
discount ($29 for Grolier's & $39 for Compton's). Newer editions may
have changed drastically. If you are going to make a choice on an older
edition going by my experience I would get the Grolier's. Good luck.
