While the CMOS CD-ROM has good intentions, it has quickly been out-paced by the online version of the Manual that was launched just after the CD appeared.

The CD does not work with Vista or Macs and I recommend skipping it all together and going online. [...]

1.0 out of 5 stars Online version preferable, December 13, 2008

This review is from: The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition: CD-ROM for Windows (CD-ROM)

The online version is updated continuously and is searchable; you can create and save your own style sheets; and the $30 yearly subscription includes access to an ever-expanding Q&A section that frequently clarifies things not explicitly covered in the manual. The only reason I would bother with a CD version at all would be if I were working while away from the internet for long enough to have this pay for itself.

CMoS CD-ROM DOES work with Vista. I called the publisher before ordering to make sure. Received the disc and installed without any issues.

This version may not be as up-to-date as its online counterpart, but it's a one-time investment and can be used when an Internet connection is not available.
