Encyclopaedia Britannica will utilize its WebRenderer(TM) Java browser
component within their desktop applications.

key component of each of Encyclopaedia Britannica's desktop products is the
built-in browser feature enabled by JadeLiquid's WebRenderer. These products
allow Britannica's customers to access hundreds of thousands of articles,
multi-media and many interactive tools on both Windows and Mac OSX desktops. An
online update center allows users to view online the most recently updated
articles by Britannica editors, all without having to leave the Encyclopaedia
Britannica application.
"We chose WebRenderer because it allows us to
embed the Mozilla browser in our products, and, being Java Swing compatible, it
provides both standards compliance and a platform for a compelling user
interface," said Luna Rajbhandari, Director, CD/DVD Technology, with Encyclopaedia
Britannica. "Also we have found WebRenderer to be a high performance and
stable component. Now all Britannica desktop products use WebRenderer for
content display."
We are thrilled to have Encyclopaedia
Britannica standardizing on WebRenderer. With the sheer volume of content
displayed in Britannica's applications there is a real necessity for standards
compliant web content display. WebRenderer does this to a very high standard",
said Anthony Scotney, CEO of JadeLiquid Software.
