RIP Encarta.
For better or for worse, it was for many people, especially children, the
first encyclopedia they ever encountered. It may eventually have sparked the
interest of, and inspired, more than a few Wikipedians.
Let's hope some of their material can be released (I'm hoping specifically
for some of the multimedia, such as snippets of music made with rare
instruments, and the sound files of letters, numbers and various phrases
said in many languages, by native speakers).

Encarta is dead [1]. Anyone willing to talk with
Microsoft about
getting materials for Wikipedia?
