Britannica vs Encarta: which would you choose?

While Wikipedia has quite a few merits and is interesting to useread(darn sleepiness), at times, I've been somewhat wary about the "open-editing wars" it's undergone and the lack of sources for quite a few articles.

So, which digital encyclopedias would you choose? I don't have much physical space in my room so no "encyclopedia sets".

Of course, even encyclopedias are biased but are probably more factually accurate.

IIRC, Microsoft discontinued Encarta. Britannica is still ongoing, as the print version has been for a very long time. So I'd go with with Britannica, mainly because it will still be kept up to date.

Britannica as much because of the rich history it has, as because of the quality of work it contains. However you should still verify facts that you find in britannica as there are a few "blind spot" mistakes in it. But a lot less than there are in some other encyclopedias.
