Microsoft Student is an application from Microsoft designed to help students in schoolwork and homework. It includes Microsoft Encarta Premium, as well as several student-exclusive tools such as additional Microsoft Office templates and integration.
The product also includes Microsoft Math, language and literature resources, and research tools (such as access to the online version of Microsoft Encarta).[1] Student 2006 was the first version of the product and a new version was produced by Microsoft every year till 2009.
Microsoft announced in March 2009 that they will cease to sell Microsoft Student and all editions of the Encarta encyclopedia by June 2009, citing changes in the way people seek information and in the traditional encyclopedia and reference material market as the key reasons behind the termination.[2]
