Hi Mohammadreza, I really don't know. I think I have tried an Oxford one and an old version from Collins. The one from Oxford turned to be notoriously heavy for my laptop, and it showed perhaps too much information (not so good design). What I love from the Collins one that I tried it is that you just need to click on any word to get the definitions and the pronunciation of any word. Well, for me, my dreamed dictionary should be very fast and easy to use and not bloated.
Well, as you can see in the review from Antimoon, even Longman gets a C grade. I wonder if dictionaries publishers are still offering their software version dictionaries just as a extension of their paper dictionaries of as a different product that take advantage of the computer possibilities. I also wonder, how would compare the Macmillan CDROM dictionary against e.g. Longman. It seems to me Macmillan is offering features not seen before in classic dictionaries. I hope it helps.
