What is the difference between these two encyclopedias? Is it just that they are being made by two companies? Can someone who knows about these stuff please comment?:D

The basic difference is ENCARTA is INTERACTIVE (kids oriented) and a newbie, whereas BRITANNICA is way too ahead in the quality and quantity (somewhat dry) of information and way too old
