 Simply the best!, 2007-09-30
...along with my favorite text, *501 Spanish Verbs,* I'm set! I'm a reasonably fluent Spanish speaker. My University of Chicago Spanish Dictionary travels with me, but this Oxford Pop-Up Spanish/English Dictionary CD is by far the best of any computer versions I've tried over the years. It is always exceedingly useful in sending online communications and composing texts in Spanish at the computer! Highly recommended.

 decent translation, but trojan horse software, 2006-01-02
I was initially impressed with the Oxford Spanish dictionary and it's TSR-based "i-finger" software, it has a hefty dictionary and lot's of regional variations of the use of Spanish. The big downer was that it bombed on me after a year of use, I bought the 2002 Oxford Spanish CD sometime ago, and apparently it has some kind of automatic time-bomb built into its code, it will no longer install after a pre-determined amount of time has expired on the computer, i.e., the registration code will not work anymore and it won't install. I used it on WindowsXP and found this out. It's their trick to get you to "upgrade" to the new version.
I have an old but excellent Spanish-English dictionary at home, in book form, and there is no reason why a CD can't remain the same after years of use. Obviously the greed factor has deterred the authors of this software from making this work for the rest of us. Buy it for cheap, but be forewarned!
