I've used Coach Thesaurus and Word Finder (in case of Word Finder, only the
version that comes with Word). I like Coach Thesaurus little better
personally. At least it is based on Merriam-Webster Thesaurus whereas Word
Finder is not based on any thesauruses that we know of. Besides the
interface of Coach Thesaurus seems more Mac-like (I know, it is a personal
judgment).

I believe Deneba (maker of Coach Thesaurus) just came out with Big
Thesaurus which is a full implementation (or somewhere near) of the actual
Merriam-Webster's thesaurus' magnitude. I haven't seen it myself, but it
looks exciting.

If you buy Coach Professional (also made by Deneba), Coach Thesaurus comes
as a part of the package. It looked slick, but I didn't want to whip out
$100 for on-line dictionary/thesaurus. :-(

Disclaimer: I am just a poor student (just as fair amount of us), and as
far as Deneba is concerned, I am just a customer.
