Much as I despair at LCSI's MacHappy approach to Logo I enjoyed
playing with MW almost as much as with LogoWriter. If you ignore all
the tacky 'multimedia' overlay, there is an imperfect but interesting
implementation which would stretch a degree level student. However,
don't try to use it with an underpowered PC.

While I agree that the new version of MW2 for Windows (anyway) does 
require a computer with grunt, the sheer fact that MicroWorlds 2 has 
all the lovely multimedia features should be a reason to use it. Why? 
It switches kids on. It's easy to use, unlike other versions of LOGO 
on the market. In a short period of time kids can produce good 
projects using LOGO programming. We use it on over 300 computers in 
our school and personally would not consider any other LOGO 
environment for our kids. While it lacks a couple of key features, 
such as being able to display animated GIF files, MicroWorlds 2 from 
LCSI would have to be the winner hands down.
