Not really, the fact that people /can/ add to it if they wish is a 
plus point.

Wikipedia is still in its infancy. I doubt the EB became a mass of 
accurate articles in just a few years either. Give it time - and even 
with the comparatively short time wikipedia has been around, it's 
still built enough articles to be useful imho.

"User buys encyclopaedia from vendor not particularly noted for 
interoperability, has problems accessing that information on other 
systems" shocker!

They could always run windows under qemu..
