"A great WordNet client but not really a Thesaurus."
Version: Nisus Thesaurus 1.0.7
Pros
It is easy to navigate through the definitions of a word according to WordNet categories (e.g. `more specific', `has parts', `is a part of', etc.,) quickly and without having invested any time becoming familiar with the software.
Cons
This is a dictionary, not a thesaurus.For example, the word `window' lists as similar: `window (as in ``framework'')', `window (as in ``opening'')', `window; windowpane (as in ``windowpane'')', and `window' (as in ``display'')'.
Summary
This is mis-advertised. If you want a dictionary powered by WordNet, this is great. If you want a Thesaurus, look elsewhere.
